Dataflow Cookbook

Goal

The goal of the cookbook is to provide ready-to-launch and selfcontained pipelines so that creating new pipelines becomes easier. The examples in the cookbook are the most common use cases when using Dataflow.

When possible, the pipeline parameters are prepopulated to include public resources in order for the pipelines to be as easy to execute as possible. When actions are required from the user, there should be a pipeline parameter option for you to fill and / or a comment stating that the pipeline needs preparation, for example Java/gcs/MatchAllContinuouslyFileIO.

Content

The cookbook contains examples for Java, Python and Scala.

Java

  • basics

  • gcs

  • bigquery

  • pubsub

  • pubsublite

  • sql: pipelines that use BeamSQL

  • cloudsql

  • windows: example pipelines of the four windows

  • testingWindows: pipelines that, using the way to test windows, explain how triggers work (AfterEach, AfterFirst and so on). These can be used to learn triggers.

  • advanced: pipelines with not so usual use cases, such as custom windows, Stateful and Timer DoFns.

  • minimal: minimal pipelines that can be used to start a custom one.

  • bigtable

  • spanner

  • datastore

  • kafka

  • extra: what could not fit in the other section.

Python

  • basics

  • csv

  • file

  • gcs

  • jdbc

  • json

  • bigtable

  • bigquery

  • kafka

  • mongodb

  • pubsub

  • spanner

  • tfrecord

  • windows: example pipelines of the four windows

  • testing_windows: pipelines that, using the way to test windows, explain how triggers work. These can be used to learn triggers.

  • minimal: minimal pipelines that can be used to start a custom one.

  • advanced: pipelines with not so usual use cases, such as Timely and Stateful DoFn examples

  • extra_examples: what could not fit in the other section.

Scala / Scio

  • basics

  • gcs

  • bigquery

  • pubsub

  • windows: example pipelines of the four windows

  • minimal: minimal pipelines that can be used to start a custom one.

  • advanced: pipelines with not so usual use cases, such as Timely and Stateful DoFn examples

  • extra: what could not fit in the other section.

Setting up the environment

  • (Optional for Python) Download and set your credentials as documented.

  • Set up environment variables. In the terminal, run (change values between < >)

    export BUCKET=<YOUR_BUCKET_NAME>
    export REGION=<YOUR_REGION>
    
  • For Python, you can also set the project variable: export PROJECT=<YOUR_PROJECT>

Launching Dataflow Jobs

Java

To launch the dataflow jobs run in your terminal (using basics/groupByKey as example):

mvn compile -e exec:java -Dexec.mainClass=basics.groupByKey \
-Dexec.args="--runner=DataflowRunner --region=$REGION \
--tempLocation=gs://$BUCKET/tmp/"

In some pipelines you would need to add arguments, for example in bigquery.WriteDynamicBQ you need to add a dataset:

mvn compile -e exec:java -Dexec.mainClass=bigquery.WriteDynamicBQ \
-Dexec.args="--runner=DataflowRunner --region=$REGION \
--tempLocation=gs://$BUCKET/tmp/ --dataset=$DATASET"

The extra parameters needed can be seen in the pipeline code, checking the pipeline options.

Python

To launch the dataflow jobs run in your terminal (using basics/group_by_key.py as example):

python group_by_key.py --runner DataflowRunner --project $PROJECT \
--region $REGION --temp_location gs://$BUCKET/tmp/

In some pipelines you would need to add arguments, for example in bigquery/write_bigquery.py you need to add a output table:

python write_bigquery.py --runner DataflowRunner --project $PROJECT \
--region $REGION --temp_location gs://$BUCKET/tmp/ --output_table $MY_TABLE

The extra parameters needed can be seen in the pipeline code, checking the pipeline options class.

NOTE: If you want to name the pipeline, add --job_name=my-pipeline-name.

Scala / SCio

To launch the dataflow jobs run in your terminal (using basics/GroupByKey as example):

sbt "runMain basics.GroupByKey --runner=DataflowRunner --region=$REGION \
--tempLocation=gs://$BUCKET/tmp/"

In some pipelines you would need to add arguments, for example in bigquery/WriteStreamingInserts you need to add a table:

sbt "runMain bigquery.WriteStreamingInserts --runner=DataflowRunner --region=$REGION \
--tempLocation=gs://$BUCKET/tmp/ --table=$MY_TABLE"

The extra parameters needed can be seen in the pipeline code, checking for opts or opts.getOrElse.
