mkuthan opened a new issue, #28282:
URL: https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/28282
### What happened?
For unbounded collections and FileLoads writing method default value for
maxRetryJobs is 1000. It delays step failure if the error is permanent, for
example if TableRow contains timestamp field with invalid value (out of
accepted range).
I found the following comment in the code:
```
// When running in streaming (unbounded mode) we want to retry failed load
jobs
// indefinitely. Failing the bundle is expensive, so we set a fairly high
limit on retries.
if (IsBounded.UNBOUNDED.equals(input.isBounded())) {
batchLoads.setMaxRetryJobs(getMaxRetryJobs());
}
public static <T> Write<T> write() {
return new AutoValue_BigQueryIO_Write.Builder<T>()
...
.setMaxRetryJobs(1000)
...
.build()
```
I would expect:
* no retries for persistent errors
* a few retries for transient errors but much less than 1000
In addition the
[Documentation](https://beam.apache.org/releases/javadoc/current/org/apache/beam/sdk/io/gcp/bigquery/BigQueryIO.Write.html#withMaxRetryJobs-int-)
is far for complete:
* No information that settings is only applicable for FileLoads
* No information about behaviour if maxRetryJobs is not specified
