Hello, just wanted to point out how disappointing we are with AwReporting and why. We were told AwReporting would be the solution to our problems regarding downloading large scale performance information for all our accounts. We currently do nightly downloads using the API, calling it in parallel and inserting the reports directly into external Hive tables.
We were facing a lot problems like ERROR_GETTING_RESPONSE_FROM_BACKEND due to the fact that we have accounts with for example 7 million ads. Of course we retry, but sometimes, we get the error 10 times or more and the API es very slow also when downloading those accounts. It seems times grow exponentially compared to account with half the size. We were expecting AwReporting to solve that, but: 1) It uses the same API, so basically it is the same code we have already written => same problems with large accounts 2) It does not allow us to save directly to CSV, or TSV files that could be directly used in Hive tables, as many of the one managing large datasets are probably doing. We cannot save the data to a DB just to transform it later. 3) It creates all the objects in memory and uses Hibernate to save the objects into the DB?!?! We are getting "Out of memory" exceptions for almost all our accounts. Simply put, I don´t think this will work for any large-scale API consumer. Either you don´t care, or you didn´t make the proper effort into understanding our real needs. In any case, is very disappointing. Let me know if we can help in any way to make this a real useful solution.
