Chamikara Jayalath commented on BEAM-5105:
------------------------------------------
This was fixed and available in Beam 2.8.0 and later.
> Move load job poll to finishBundle() method to better parallelize execution

> It appears that when we write to BigQuery using WriteTablesDoFn we start a
> load job and wait for that job to finish.

>
> In cases where we are trying to write a PCollection of tables (for example,
> when user use dynamic destinations feature) this relies on dynamic work
> rebalancing to parallellize execution of load jobs. If the runner does not
> support dynamic work rebalancing or does not execute dynamic work rebalancing
> from some reason this could have significant performance drawbacks. For
> example, scheduling times for load jobs will add up.
>
> A better approach might be to start load jobs at process() method but wait
> for all load jobs to finish at finishBundle() method. This will parallelize
> any overheads as well as job execution (assuming more than one job is
> schedule by BQ.).
