> FileBasedSource/IOChannelFactory: Custom glob expansion
> -------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: BEAM-60
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-60
> Project: Beam
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: sdk-java-core
> Reporter: Daniel Halperin
>
> Many cloud and distributed filesystems are eventually consistent, for
> instance Amazon s3 and Google Cloud Storage.
> To work around this, many systems that produce files such as Beam's
> FileBasedSinks, or Google BigQuery will provide methods to determine the
> number and set of files produced. E.g.,
> * Beam FileBasedSink uses -00000-of-NNNNN
> * BigQuery export jobs uses -000000 -000001 -000002 ... until an empty file
> is produced
> * Another system may produce a .filelist suffix that contains a list of all
> files.
> Users should be able to supply a glob to FileBasedSource but additionally
> supply a "glob expander" that can provide a custom implementation for file
> expansion. That way, e.g., Beam pipelines can be run back-to-back-to-back
> where each consumes the output of the previous, on an inconsistent
> filesystem, without data loss.
