apache_beam.testing.synthetic_pipeline module

A set of utilities to write pipelines for performance tests.

This module offers a way to create pipelines using synthetic sources and steps. Exact shape of the pipeline and the behaviour of sources and steps can be controlled through arguments. Please see function ‘parse_args()’ for more details about the arguments.

Shape of the pipeline is primariy controlled through two arguments. Argument ‘steps’ can be used to define a list of steps as a JSON string. Argument ‘barrier’ describes how these steps are separated from each other. Argument ‘barrier’ can be use to build a pipeline as a a series of steps or a tree of steps with a fanin or a fanout of size 2.

Other arguments describe what gets generated by synthetic sources that produce data for the pipeline.

apache_beam.testing.synthetic_pipeline.parse_byte_size(s)[source]
apache_beam.testing.synthetic_pipeline.div_round_up(a, b)[source]

Return ceil(a/b).

apache_beam.testing.synthetic_pipeline.rotate_key(element)[source]

Returns a new key-value pair of the same size but with a different key.

apache_beam.testing.synthetic_pipeline.initial_splitting_zipf(start_position, stop_position, desired_num_bundles, distribution_parameter, num_total_records=None)[source]

Split the given range (defined by start_position, stop_position) into desired_num_bundles using zipf with the given distribution_parameter.

class apache_beam.testing.synthetic_pipeline.SyntheticStep(per_element_delay_sec=0, per_bundle_delay_sec=0, output_records_per_input_record=1, output_filter_ratio=0)[source]

Bases: apache_beam.transforms.core.DoFn

A DoFn of which behavior can be controlled through prespecified parameters.

class apache_beam.testing.synthetic_pipeline.NonLiquidShardingOffsetRangeTracker(offset_range)[source]

Bases: apache_beam.io.restriction_trackers.OffsetRestrictionTracker

An OffsetRangeTracker that doesn’t allow splitting.

class apache_beam.testing.synthetic_pipeline.SyntheticSDFStepRestrictionProvider(num_records, initial_splitting_num_bundles, initial_splitting_uneven_chunks, disable_liquid_sharding, size_estimate_override)[source]

Bases: apache_beam.transforms.core.RestrictionProvider

A RestrictionProvider for SyntheticSDFStep.

An initial_restriction and split that operate on num_records and ignores source description (element). Splits into initial_splitting_num_bundles. Returns size_estimate_override as restriction size, if set. Otherwise uses element size.

If initial_splitting_uneven_chunks, produces uneven chunks.

A function which returns a SyntheticSDFStep with given parameters.

class apache_beam.testing.synthetic_pipeline.SyntheticSource(input_spec)[source]

Bases: apache_beam.io.iobase.BoundedSource

A custom source of a specified size.

Initiates a synthetic source.

Parameters:input_spec – Input specification of the source. See corresponding option in function ‘parse_args()’ below for more details.
Raises:ValueError – if input parameters are invalid.

class apache_beam.testing.synthetic_pipeline.SyntheticSDFSourceRestrictionProvider[source]

Bases: apache_beam.transforms.core.RestrictionProvider

A RestrictionProvider for SyntheticSDFAsSource.

In initial_restriction(element) and split(element), element means source description. A typical element is like:

{
‘key_size’: 1, ‘value_size’: 1, ‘initial_splitting_num_bundles’: 8, ‘initial_splitting_desired_bundle_size’: 2, ‘sleep_per_input_record_sec’: 0, ‘initial_splitting’ : ‘const’

}

split(element, restriction)[source]

class apache_beam.testing.synthetic_pipeline.SyntheticSDFAsSource(*unused_args, **unused_kwargs)[source]

Bases: apache_beam.transforms.core.DoFn

A SDF that generates records like a source.

This SDF accepts a PCollection of record-based source description. A typical description is like:

{
‘key_size’: 1, ‘value_size’: 1, ‘initial_splitting_num_bundles’: 8, ‘initial_splitting_desired_bundle_size’: 2, ‘sleep_per_input_record_sec’: 0, ‘initial_splitting’ : ‘const’

}

A simple pipeline taking this SDF as a source is like:
p | beam.Create([description1, description2,…]) | beam.ParDo(SyntheticSDFAsSource())

Note

The SDF.process() will have different param content between defining a DoFn and runtime. When defining an SDF.process, the restriction_tracker should be a RestrictionProvider. During runtime, the DoFnRunner.process_with_sized_restriction() will feed a ‘RestrictionTracker’ based on a restriction to SDF.process().

apache_beam.testing.synthetic_pipeline.merge_using_gbk(name, pc1, pc2)[source]

Merges two given PCollections using a CoGroupByKey.

apache_beam.testing.synthetic_pipeline.merge_using_side_input(name, pc1, pc2)[source]

Merges two given PCollections using side inputs.

apache_beam.testing.synthetic_pipeline.expand_using_gbk(name, pc)[source]

Expands a given PCollection into two copies using GroupByKey.

apache_beam.testing.synthetic_pipeline.expand_using_second_output(name, pc)[source]

apache_beam.testing.synthetic_pipeline.parse_args(args)[source]

Parses a given set of arguments.

Parameters:args – set of arguments to be passed.
Returns:a tuple where first item gives the set of arguments defined and parsed within this method and second item gives the set of unknown arguments.
apache_beam.testing.synthetic_pipeline.run(argv=None)[source]

Runs the workflow.
