Eugene Kirpichov created BEAM-2628: -------------------------------------- Summary: AvroSource.split() sequentially opens every matched file Key: BEAM-2628 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-2628 Project: Beam Issue Type: Bug Components: sdk-java-core Reporter: Eugene Kirpichov Assignee: Eugene Kirpichov
When you do AvroIO.read().from(filepattern), during splitting of AvroSource the filepattern gets expanded into N files, and then for each of the N files we do this: https://github.com/apache/beam/blob/v2.0.0/sdks/java/core/src/main/java/org/apache/beam/sdk/io/AvroSource.java#L259 This is very slow. E.g. one job was reading 15,000 files, and it took almost 2 hours to split the source because opening each file and reading schema was taking about 0.5s. I'm not quite sure why we need the file metadata while splitting... -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
