Kenneth Knowles commented on BEAM-12335:
----------------------------------------
Also SDF so some of the high fanout output can be processed before completing
the production of all the outputs.
> Apply basic fusion to Java DirectRunner to avoid keeping all intermittent
> results in memory

> Key: BEAM-12335
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-12335
> Project: Beam
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: runner-direct
> Reporter: Boyuan Zhang
> Priority: P2
>
> Current java direct runner doesn't fuse transforms into steps. Instead, it
> almost executes each transform one by one. It results in memory pressure when
> any transform is high-fanout.
> We already have a simple fusion logic in Java
> SDK(https://github.com/apache/beam/blob/master/runners/core-construction-java/src/main/java/org/apache/beam/runners/core/construction/graph/GreedyPipelineFuser.java).
> Work remaining here might be:
> * Apply such fusion into DirectRunner
> * Change the DirectRunner to be able run the fused steps.
> I understand that DirectRunner doesn't expect processing large volume data
> and changing DirectRunner execution might be a fair amount of work.
