## Summary of Changes Hello @Eliaaazzz, I'm Gemini Code Assist[^1]! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed! This pull request enhances Apache Beam's capabilities for machine learning inference by introducing a novel size-aware batching mechanism. The new `SortAndBatchElements` transform intelligently groups elements of similar sizes within a bundle, significantly reducing the computational waste associated with padding variable-length inputs. This optimization leads to substantial improvements in throughput and a reduction in inference latency, particularly beneficial for workloads with diverse input sizes. ### Highlights * **New Stateless Size-Aware Batching**: Introduced `SortAndBatchElements` in `apache_beam/transforms/util.py`, an opt-in stateless (bundle-local) transform that sorts elements by size before batching. This is designed to optimize variable-length inference workloads. * **Performance Improvements**: Benchmarking shows significant gains for heavy-tail length distributions: a 75.5% reduction in padding ratio, a 230.4% increase in median throughput, and approximately 70% reduction in p95 end-to-end and batch latency. * **Comprehensive Benchmarking**: A new benchmark script (`apache_beam/transforms/sort_and_batch_benchmark.py`) has been added to compare the new `SortAndBatchElements` with the existing `BatchElements`, validating its efficiency improvements. * **Robust Unit Testing**: Extensive unit tests have been added in `apache_beam/transforms/util_test.py` to ensure the correctness and reliability of the `SortAndBatchElements` transform, covering various scenarios including windowing and parameter validation. 🧠**New Feature in Public Preview:** You can now enable **Memory** to help **Gemini Code Assist** learn from your team's feedback. This makes future code reviews more consistent and personalized to your project's style. **Click [here](https://codeassist.google/code-review/login) to enable Memory in your admin console.** <details> <summary><b>Changelog</b></summary> * **sdks/python/apache_beam/transforms/sort_and_batch_benchmark.py** * Added a new benchmark script to compare the performance of `BatchElements` (baseline) against the new `SortAndBatchElements` (stateless). * Implemented data generators for various length distributions (Pareto, log-normal, bimodal, low-variance) to simulate diverse inference workloads. * Included a simulated inference latency model to provide realistic performance metrics. * Developed statistical helpers for percentile calculation and padding efficiency analysis. * Added invariant validation to ensure element and token conservation across batching strategies. * **sdks/python/apache_beam/transforms/util.py** * Introduced `SortAndBatchElements` PTransform, which buffers elements within a bundle, sorts them by size, and then forms batches based on `max_batch_size` and `max_batch_weight`. * Added `_SortAndBatchElementsDoFn` for default windowing and `_WindowAwareSortAndBatchElementsDoFn` for window-aware processing, handling element buffering, sorting, and batch emission. * Implemented `_default_element_size_fn` to provide a flexible way to determine element size, defaulting to `len()` or 1 if `len()` is not supported. * Updated the `__all__` list to include `SortAndBatchElements` for public access. * **sdks/python/apache_beam/transforms/util_test.py** * Added `SortAndBatchElementsTest` class with multiple test cases to verify the functionality of the new transform. * Tests confirm that elements are correctly sorted by size within batches. * Validation tests ensure `max_batch_size`, `max_batch_weight`, and `element_size_fn` parameters are handled correctly. * Tests cover default and custom `element_size_fn` behavior for various data types. * Included tests for empty input, single element input, and correct handling of windowed elements. * A specific test demonstrates the padding efficiency improvement achieved by `SortAndBatchElements` compared to traditional batching. </details> <details> <summary><b>Activity</b></summary> * The pull request introduces a new feature, `SortAndBatchElements`, aimed at improving ML inference performance. * A new benchmark script has been added, providing a clear comparison between the new and existing batching strategies. * Benchmark results for a heavy-tail distribution show significant performance gains, including a 75.5% reduction in padding ratio and a 230.4% increase in throughput. * Comprehensive unit tests have been implemented to ensure the correctness and robustness of the new transform across different scenarios. </details> <details> <summary><b>Using Gemini Code Assist</b></summary> <br> The full guide for Gemini Code Assist can be found on our [documentation page](https://developers.google.com/gemini-code-assist/docs/review-github-code), here are some quick tips. <b>Invoking Gemini</b> You can request assistance from Gemini at any point by creating a comment using either `/gemini <command>` or `@gemini-code-assist <command>`.
