Work Description: pabloem commented on issue #9665: [BEAM-2879] Support
writing data to BigQuery via avro
URL: https://github.com/apache/beam/pull/9665#issuecomment-538613986
This is just a brain dump of what I'm thinking...
I wonder whether we need the `AvroWriteRequest`, and the Avro schema. I
guess we do, as the `InputElement` (whatever it is) + the Avro schema are all
one needs to build the `GenericRecord`. Having the `AvroWriteRequest` may help
make the formatting function as concise as possible....
As for supporting Beam schemas + avro files, one could have a
`useBeamSchemaForAvroFiles()`... though it's a little strange....
Another option is to have `useBeamSchema`, and a pre-coded avro formatting
function called something like ... `BigQueryIOUtils.beamRowToAvroRecord()`.
Though this is a little awkward too.
---
Overall, I like using `AvroWriteRequest` as input for the avro format
function... and for supporting Beam schemas, it may be that
`useBeamSchemaForAvroFiles` (or some better name) is the more reasonable
options.
WDYT?
