-----------------------------------
cc: [~sb2nov] will work on pipeline surgery.
> DataflowRunner drops Reads with no consumers
> --------------------------------------------
>
> Key: BEAM-2007
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-2007
> Project: Beam
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: runner-dataflow, sdk-py
> Reporter: Daniel Halperin
> Assignee: Ahmet Altay
>
> Basically, if a pipeline has "just" a Read with no consumers, the optimizer
> in Dataflow will drop it. To preserve Beam semantics, we do want to run the
> Read and drop its output, e.g., because the Read may have side effects that
> we're testing for.
> Is it possible with pipeline surgery to find such Reads and add an Identity
> ParDo to them?
