apache_beam.io.tfrecordio module

TFRecord sources and sinks.

class apache_beam.io.tfrecordio.ReadFromTFRecord(file_pattern, coder=BytesCoder, compression_type='auto', validate=True, **kwargs)[source]

Bases: apache_beam.transforms.ptransform.PTransform

Transform for reading TFRecord sources.

Initialize a ReadFromTFRecord transform.

Parameters:
  • file_pattern – A file glob pattern to read TFRecords from.
  • coder – Coder used to decode each record.
  • compression_type – Used to handle compressed input files. Default value is CompressionTypes.AUTO, in which case the file_path’s extension will be used to detect the compression.
  • validate – Boolean flag to verify that the files exist during the pipeline creation time.
  • **kwargs – optional args dictionary. These are passed through to parent constructor.
Returns:

A ReadFromTFRecord transform object.

class apache_beam.io.tfrecordio.WriteToTFRecord(file_path_prefix, coder=BytesCoder, file_name_suffix='', num_shards=0, shard_name_template=None, compression_type='auto', **kwargs)[source]

Bases: apache_beam.transforms.ptransform.PTransform

Transform for writing to TFRecord sinks.

Initialize WriteToTFRecord transform.

Parameters:
  • file_path_prefix – The file path to write to. The files written will begin with this prefix, followed by a shard identifier (see num_shards), and end in a common extension, if given by file_name_suffix.
  • coder – Coder used to encode each record.
  • file_name_suffix – Suffix for the files written.
  • num_shards – The number of files (shards) used for output. If not set, the default value will be used.
  • shard_name_template – A template string containing placeholders for the shard number and shard count. When constructing a filename for a particular shard number, the upper-case letters ‘S’ and ‘N’ are replaced with the 0-padded shard number and shard count respectively. This argument can be ‘’ in which case it behaves as if num_shards was set to 1 and only one file will be generated. The default pattern used is ‘-SSSSS-of-NNNNN’ if None is passed as the shard_name_template.
  • compression_type – Used to handle compressed output files. Typical value is CompressionTypes.AUTO, in which case the file_path’s extension will be used to detect the compression.
  • **kwargs – Optional args dictionary. These are passed through to parent constructor.
Returns:

A WriteToTFRecord transform object.
