Beam JIRA Bot updated BEAM-68:
------------------------------
Labels: stale-P2 (was: )
> Support for limiting parallelism of a step
> ------------------------------------------
>
> Key: BEAM-68
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-68
> Project: Beam
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: beam-model
> Reporter: Dan Halperin
> Priority: P2
> Labels: stale-P2

> Users may want to limit the parallelism of a step. Two classic uses cases are:
> - User wants to produce at most k files, so sets
> TextIO.Write.withNumShards(k).
> - External API only supports k QPS, so user sets a limit of k/(expected
> QPS/step) on the ParDo that makes the API call.
> Unfortunately, there is no way to do this effectively within the Beam model.
> A GroupByKey with exactly k keys will guarantee that only k elements are
> produced, but runners are free to break fusion in ways that each element may
> be processed in parallel later.
> To implement this functionaltiy, I believe we need to add this support to the
> Beam Model.
