Daniel Halperin commented on BEAM-1126: --------------------------------------- If UnboundedSource supported aggregators/metrics today, would you still want this change? (Assuming the answer is no:) I don't like the idea of complicating core APIs solely as a short term workaround for the issue that metrics aren't supported everywhere. We are actively trying to fix metrics to be usable in more places; it seems a better long-term solution to wait for [or help with!] that effort. (Assuming the answer is yes:) Say more? > Expose UnboundedSource split backlog in number of events > -------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: BEAM-1126 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-1126 > Project: Beam > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: sdk-java-core > Reporter: Aviem Zur > Assignee: Daniel Halperin > Priority: Minor > > Today {{UnboundedSource}} exposes split backlog in bytes via > {{getSplitBacklogBytes()}} > There is value in exposing backlog in number of events as well, since this > number can be more human comprehensible than bytes. something like > {{getSplitBacklogEvents()}} or {{getSplitBacklogCount()}}. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
