Current behavior waits for the entire input PCollection to be read and closed before reading the Schema. This can delay the pipeline for large inputs, and does not guarantee that the schema is ready (if it is created in the same pipeline) for small inputs.
It also breaks streaming mode completely as the input PCollection is never closed. This PR adds an optional parameter with a PCollection to wait for before reading the schema. If not specified, the schema is read immediately. This provides a partial -- but not complete -- fix for streaming mode (there are still issues with the partitioning/grouping in streaming mode which means that NPE's will be thrown with more than trivial load). @chamikaramj Post-Commit Tests Status (on master branch) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Lang | SDK | Apex | Dataflow | Flink | Gearpump | Samza | Spark --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- Go | [](https://builds.apache.org/job/beam_PostCommit_Go_GradleBuild/lastCompletedBuild/) | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- Java | [](https://builds.apache.org/job/beam_PostCommit_Java_GradleBuild/lastCompletedBuild/) | [](https://builds.apache.org/job/beam_PostCommit_Java_ValidatesRunner_Apex_Gradle/lastCompletedBuild/) | [](https://builds.apache.org/job/beam_PostCommit_Java_ValidatesRunner_Dataflow_Gradle/lastCompletedBuild/) | [](https://builds.apache.org/job/beam_PostCommit_Java_ValidatesRunner_Flink_Gradle/lastCompletedBuild/) | [](https://builds.apache.org/job/beam_PostCommit_Java_ValidatesRunner_Gearpump_Gradle/lastCompletedBuild/) | [](https://builds.apache.org/job/beam_PostCommit_Java_ValidatesRunner_Samza_Gradle/lastCompletedBuild/) | [](https://builds.apache.org/job/beam_PostCommit_Java_ValidatesRunner_Spark_Gradle/lastCompletedBuild/) Python | [](https://builds.apache.org/job/beam_PostCommit_Python_Verify/lastCompletedBuild/) | --- | [](https://builds.apache.org/job/beam_PostCommit_Py_VR_Dataflow/lastCompletedBuild/) </br> [](https://builds.apache.org/job/beam_PostCommit_Py_ValCont/lastCompletedBuild/) | --- | --- | --- | --- [ Full content available at: https://github.com/apache/beam/pull/6409 ] This message was relayed via gitbox.apache.org for [email protected]
