Summary: textio (and fileio in general) takes too long to estimate sizes of large globs Key: BEAM-9620 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-9620 Project: Beam Issue Type: Bug Components: sdk-py-core Reporter: Chamikara Madhusanka Jayalath As a workaround we could introduce a way to not perform size estimation when reading large globs. For example Java SDK has withHintMatchesManyFiles() option. [https://github.com/apache/beam/blob/850e8469de798d45ec535fe90cb2dc5dbda4974a/sdks/java/core/src/main/java/org/apache/beam/sdk/io/TextIO.java#L371] Additionally, seems like we are repeating the size estimation where the same PCollection read from a file-based source is applied to multiple PTransforms. See following for more details.
