Class GroupIntoBatches<K,InputT>

java.lang.Object

org.apache.beam.sdk.transforms.PTransform<PCollection<KV<K,InputT>>,PCollection<KV<K,java.lang.Iterable<InputT>>>>

org.apache.beam.sdk.transforms.GroupIntoBatches<K,InputT>

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, HasDisplayData

public class GroupIntoBatches<K,InputT>
extends PTransform<PCollection<KV<K,InputT>>,PCollection<KV<K,java.lang.Iterable<InputT>>>>

A PTransform that batches inputs to a desired batch size. Batches will contain only elements of a single key.

Elements are buffered until there are batchSize elements buffered, at which point they are output to the output PCollection.

Windows are preserved (batches contain elements from the same window). Batches may contain elements from more than one bundle

Example (batch call a webservice and get return codes)

  Pipeline pipeline = Pipeline.create(...);
  ... // KV collection
  long batchSize = 100L;
  pipeline.apply(GroupIntoBatches.<String, String>ofSize(batchSize))
 .setCoder(KvCoder.of(StringUtf8Coder.of(), IterableCoder.of(StringUtf8Coder.of())))
 .apply(ParDo.of(new DoFn<KV<String, Iterable<String>>, KV<String, String>>() {
 {@literal @}ProcessElement
 public void processElement({@literal @}Element KV<String, Iterable<String>> element,
                            OutputReceiver<KV<String, String>> r) {
 r.output(KV.of(element.getKey(), callWebService(element.getValue())));
 }
 }));
  pipeline.run();

expand

public PCollection<KV<K,java.lang.Iterable<InputT>>> expand(PCollection<KV<K,InputT>> input)

Description copied from class: PTransform

Override this method to specify how this PTransform should be expanded on the given InputT.

NOTE: This method should not be called directly. Instead apply the PTransform should be applied to the InputT using the apply method.

Composite transforms, which are defined in terms of other transforms, should return the output of one of the composed transforms. Non-composite transforms, which do not apply any transforms internally, should return a new unbound output and register evaluators (via backend-specific registration methods).
