Thank for the reply. This would need to build the queries at runtime. There are incoming patient clinics for which there would be a known quantity, but this could fluctuate from thousands to hundreds of thousands depending on the size of study.
From the approach you provided below; couldn’t the esQueryResults still be determined at runtime? ~Sean From: Evan Galpin <egal...@apache.org> Date: Monday, April 24, 2023 at 2:18 PM To: user <user@beam.apache.org> Cc: Anthony Samy, Charles <anthonysamy.char...@mayo.edu>, Murphy, Sean P. <murphy.s...@mayo.edu> Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: Re: Q: Apache Beam IOElasticsearchIO.read() method (Java), which expects a PBegin input and a means to handle a collection of queries Redirecting to the user mailing list as well to hopefully help the community if others face similar issues in the future. All of the solutions in the thread so far involve making changes to the OSS Beam ElasticsearchIO codebase, which is the best long-term path and the path I would encourage. That said, I understand that doing so is not always feasible depending on timelines etc. Is your set of queries countable? Can they be known at pipeline compilation time? Not the most elegant solution, but you could potentially iterate over them if they can be known at compile time: List<PCollection<String>> esQueryResults = new ArrayList<>(); for (String queryString : myKnownQueryStrings) { esQueryResults.add(p .apply(ElasticsearchIO.read() .withConnectionConfiguration( ElasticsearchIO.ConnectionConfiguration.create(hosts, indexName)) .withQuery(queryString)) ); } PCollectionList<String> resultsList = PCollectionList.empty(p); for (PCollection<String> qResults : esQueryResults) { resultsList.and(qResults); } resultsList .apply(Flatten.pCollections()) .apply(...); On Mon, Apr 24, 2023 at 10:39 AM Murphy, Sean P. <murphy.s...@mayo.edu<mailto:murphy.s...@mayo.edu>> wrote: Any other thoughts?

The issue isn’t with the split itself, but how to introduce the Create.of (or similar) using the in a similar fashion as was described for the FileIO approach. I may have missed something, but I’m not sure I can implement the same approach using ElasticsearchIO.

I’d say that "SplitFn()" is rather optional and specific for this example of SolrIO, that I showed before. The general idea of this is actually to evenly distribute all Reads across all workers and split them, if possible, to have an equal load on your Elasticsearch cluster. I can’t say for sure what is a best way to implement it for Elasticsearch, so I’d recommend you to discuss it with Evan Galpin, who is a main contributor and maintaner of ElasticsearchIO. — Alexey On 20 Apr 2023, at 18:52, Murphy, Sean P. <murphy.s...@mayo.edu<mailto:murphy.s...@mayo.edu>> wrote: Excuse my question if it’s obvious, but since those methods aren’t accessible for Elasticsearch from the same level : https://github.com/apache/beam/blob/master/sdks/java/io/elasticsearch/src/main/java/org/apache/beam/sdk/io/elasticsearch/ElasticsearchIO.java Would I need to implement my own versions of SplitFn() and ReadAll()?

As a simple example, take a look on “SolrIO” [1] So, to support what you are looking for, “ReadAll”-pattern should be implemented for ElasticsearchIO. — Alexey [1] https://github.com/apache/beam/blob/master/sdks/java/io/solr/src/main/java/org/apache/beam/sdk/io/solr/SolrIO.java On 19 Apr 2023, at 19:05, Murphy, Sean P. via user <user@beam.apache.org<mailto:user@beam.apache.org>> wrote: I'm running into an issue using the ElasticsearchIO.read() to handle more than one instance of a query. My queries are being dynamically built as a PCollection based on an incoming group of values. I'm trying to see how to load the .withQuery() parameter which could provide this capability or any approach that provides flexibility. The issue is that ElasticsearchIO.read() method expects a PBegin input to start a pipeline, but it seems like I need access outside of a pipeline context somehow. PBegin represents the beginning of a pipeline, and it's required to create a pipeline that can read data from Elasticsearch using IOElasticsearchIO.read(). Can I wrap the ElasticsearchIO.read() call in a Create transform that creates a PCollection with a single element (e.g., PBegin) to simulate the beginning of a pipeline or something similar? Here is my naive attempt without accepting the reality of PBegin: PCollection<String> queries = ... // a PCollection of Elasticsearch queries PCollection<String> queryResults = queries.apply( ParDo.of(new DoFn<String, String>() { @ProcessElement public void processElement(ProcessContext c) { String query = c.element(); PCollection<String> results = c.pipeline() .apply(ElasticsearchIO.read() .withConnectionConfiguration( ElasticsearchIO.ConnectionConfiguration.create(hosts, indexName)) .withQuery(query)); c.output(results); } }) .apply(Flatten.pCollections())); In general I'm wondering for any of IO-related classes proved by Beam that conforms to PBegin input -- if there is a means to introduce a collection. Here is one approach that might be promising: // Define a ValueProvider for a List<String> ValueProvider<List<String>> myListProvider = ValueProvider.StaticValueProvider.of(myList); // Use the ValueProvider to create a PCollection of Strings PCollection<String> pcoll = pipeline.apply(Create.ofProvider(myListProvider, ListCoder.of())); PCollection<String> partitionData = PBegin.in(pipeline) .apply("Read data from Elasticsearch", ElasticsearchIO.read().withConnectionConfiguration(connConfig).withQuery(ValueProvider<String> pcoll).withScrollKeepalive("1m").withBatchSize(50)) .apply(new MedTaggerESRunnerTransform(opt.getProjectAe(), opt.getMedTagVersion(), opt.getNoteType())); Any thoughts or ideas would be great.
