Package org.apache.beam.sdk.io Description

Defines transforms for reading and writing common storage formats, including AvroIO, and TextIO.

The classes in this package provide Read transforms that create PCollections from existing storage:


 PCollection<TableRow> inputData = pipeline.apply(
     BigQueryIO.readTableRows().from("clouddataflow-readonly:samples.weather_stations"));

and Write transforms that persist PCollections to external storage:


 PCollection<Integer> numbers = ...;
 numbers.apply(TextIO.write().to("gs://my_bucket/path/to/numbers"));
