<div class="block"><a href="../../../../../org/apache/beam/sdk/transforms/PTransform.html" title="class in org.apache.beam.sdk.transforms"><code>PTransform</code></a>s for reading and writing Avro files.
<h2>Reading Avro files</h2>
<p>To read a <a href="../../../../../org/apache/beam/sdk/values/PCollection.html" title="class in org.apache.beam.sdk.values"><code>PCollection</code></a> from one or more Avro files with the same schema known at
pipeline construction time, use <a href="../../../../../org/apache/beam/sdk/io/AvroIO.html#read-java.lang.Class-"><code>read(java.lang.Class&lt;T&gt;)</code></a>, using <a href="../../../../../org/apache/beam/sdk/io/AvroIO.Read.html#from-org.apache.beam.sdk.options.ValueProvider-"><code>AvroIO.Read.from(org.apache.beam.sdk.options.ValueProvider&lt;java.lang.String&gt;)</code></a> to specify the
filename or filepattern to read from. If the filepatterns to be read are themselves in a <a href="../../../../../org/apache/beam/sdk/values/PCollection.html" title="class in org.apache.beam.sdk.values"><code>PCollection</code></a>, apply <a href="../../../../../org/apache/beam/sdk/io/AvroIO.html#readAll-java.lang.Class-"><code>readAll(java.lang.Class&lt;T&gt;)</code></a>. If the schema is unknown at pipeline construction time, use
<a href="../../../../../org/apache/beam/sdk/io/AvroIO.html#parseGenericRecords-org.apache.beam.sdk.transforms.SerializableFunction-"><code>parseGenericRecords(org.apache.beam.sdk.transforms.SerializableFunction&lt;org.apache.avro.generic.GenericRecord, T&gt;)</code></a> or <a href="../../../../../org/apache/beam/sdk/io/AvroIO.html#parseAllGenericRecords-org.apache.beam.sdk.transforms.SerializableFunction-"><code>parseAllGenericRecords(org.apache.beam.sdk.transforms.SerializableFunction&lt;org.apache.avro.generic.GenericRecord, T&gt;)</code></a>.
<p>Many configuration options below apply to several or all of these transforms.
<p>See <a href="../../../../../org/apache/beam/sdk/io/FileSystems.html" title="class in org.apache.beam.sdk.io"><code>FileSystems</code></a> for information on supported file systems and filepatterns.
<h3>Filepattern expansion and watching</h3>
<p>By default, <a href="../../../../../org/apache/beam/sdk/io/AvroIO.html#read-java.lang.Class-"><code>read(java.lang.Class&lt;T&gt;)</code></a> prohibits filepatterns that match no files, and <a href="../../../../../org/apache/beam/sdk/io/AvroIO.html#readAll-java.lang.Class-"><code>readAll(java.lang.Class&lt;T&gt;)</code></a>
allows them in case the filepattern contains a glob wildcard character. Use <a href="../../../../../org/apache/beam/sdk/io/AvroIO.Read.html#withEmptyMatchTreatment-org.apache.beam.sdk.io.fs.EmptyMatchTreatment-"><code>AvroIO.Read.withEmptyMatchTreatment(org.apache.beam.sdk.io.fs.EmptyMatchTreatment)</code></a> to configure this behavior.
<p>By default, the filepatterns are expanded only once. <a href="../../../../../org/apache/beam/sdk/io/AvroIO.Read.html#watchForNewFiles-org.joda.time.Duration-org.apache.beam.sdk.transforms.Watch.Growth.TerminationCondition-"><code>AvroIO.Read.watchForNewFiles(org.joda.time.Duration, org.apache.beam.sdk.transforms.Watch.Growth.TerminationCondition&lt;java.lang.String, ?&gt;)</code></a> allows
streaming of new files matching the filepattern(s).
<h3>Reading records of a known schema</h3>
<p>To read specific records, such as Avro-generated classes, use <a href="../../../../../org/apache/beam/sdk/io/AvroIO.html#read-java.lang.Class-"><code>read(Class)</code></a>. To read
<a href="http://avro.apache.org/docs/1.7.7/api/java/org/apache/avro/generic/GenericRecord.html?is-external=true" title="class or interface in org.apache.avro.generic"><code>GenericRecords</code></a>, use <a href="../../../../../org/apache/beam/sdk/io/AvroIO.html#readGenericRecords-org.apache.avro.Schema-"><code>readGenericRecords(Schema)</code></a> which takes a
<a href="http://avro.apache.org/docs/1.7.7/api/java/org/apache/avro/Schema.html?is-external=true" title="class or interface in org.apache.avro"><code>Schema</code></a> object, or <a href="../../../../../org/apache/beam/sdk/io/AvroIO.html#readGenericRecords-java.lang.String-"><code>readGenericRecords(String)</code></a> which takes an Avro schema in a
JSON-encoded string form. An exception will be thrown if a record doesn't match the specified
schema. Likewise, to read a <a href="../../../../../org/apache/beam/sdk/values/PCollection.html" title="class in org.apache.beam.sdk.values"><code>PCollection</code></a> of filepatterns, apply <a href="../../../../../org/apache/beam/sdk/io/AvroIO.html#readAllGenericRecords-org.apache.avro.Schema-"><code>readAllGenericRecords(org.apache.avro.Schema)</code></a>.
<p>For example:
<pre><code>
Pipeline p = ...;
// Read Avro-generated classes from files on GCS
PCollection&lt;AvroAutoGenClass&gt; records =
p.apply(AvroIO.read(AvroAutoGenClass.class).from("gs://my_bucket/path/to/records-*.avro"));
// Read GenericRecord's of the given schema from files on GCS
Schema schema = new Schema.Parser().parse(new File("schema.avsc"));
PCollection&lt;GenericRecord&gt; records =
p.apply(AvroIO.readGenericRecords(schema)
.from("gs://my_bucket/path/to/records-*.avro"));
</code></pre>
<h3>Reading records of an unknown schema</h3>
<p>To read records from files whose schema is unknown at pipeline construction time or differs
between files, use <a href="../../../../../org/apache/beam/sdk/io/AvroIO.html#parseGenericRecords-org.apache.beam.sdk.transforms.SerializableFunction-"><code>parseGenericRecords(org.apache.beam.sdk.transforms.SerializableFunction&lt;org.apache.avro.generic.GenericRecord, T&gt;)</code></a> - in this case, you will need to specify a
parsing function for converting each <a href="http://avro.apache.org/docs/1.7.7/api/java/org/apache/avro/generic/GenericRecord.html?is-external=true" title="class or interface in org.apache.avro.generic"><code>GenericRecord</code></a> into a value of your custom type.
Likewise, to read a <a href="../../../../../org/apache/beam/sdk/values/PCollection.html" title="class in org.apache.beam.sdk.values"><code>PCollection</code></a> of filepatterns with unknown schema, use <a href="../../../../../org/apache/beam/sdk/io/AvroIO.html#parseAllGenericRecords-org.apache.beam.sdk.transforms.SerializableFunction-"><code>parseAllGenericRecords(org.apache.beam.sdk.transforms.SerializableFunction&lt;org.apache.avro.generic.GenericRecord, T&gt;)</code></a>.
<p>For example:
<pre><code>
Pipeline p = ...;
PCollection&lt;Foo&gt; records =
p.apply(AvroIO.parseGenericRecords(new SerializableFunction&lt;GenericRecord, Foo&gt;() {
public Foo apply(GenericRecord record) {
// If needed, access the schema of the record using record.getSchema()
return ...;
}
}));
</code></pre>
<h3>Reading from a <a href="../../../../../org/apache/beam/sdk/values/PCollection.html" title="class in org.apache.beam.sdk.values"><code>PCollection</code></a> of filepatterns</h3>
<pre><code>
Pipeline p = ...;
PCollection&lt;String&gt; filepatterns = p.apply(...);
PCollection&lt;AvroAutoGenClass&gt; records =
filepatterns.apply(AvroIO.read(AvroAutoGenClass.class));
PCollection&lt;GenericRecord&gt; genericRecords =
filepatterns.apply(AvroIO.readGenericRecords(schema));
PCollection&lt;Foo&gt; records =
filepatterns.apply(AvroIO.parseAllGenericRecords(new SerializableFunction...);
</code></pre>
<h3>Streaming new files matching a filepattern</h3>
<pre><code>
Pipeline p = ...;
PCollection&lt;AvroAutoGenClass&gt; lines = p.apply(AvroIO
.read(AvroAutoGenClass.class)
.from("gs://my_bucket/path/to/records-*.avro")
.watchForNewFiles(
// Check for new files every minute
Duration.standardMinutes(1),
// Stop watching the filepattern if no new files appear within an hour
afterTimeSinceNewOutput(Duration.standardHours(1))));
</code></pre>
<h3>Reading a very large number of files</h3>
<p>If it is known that the filepattern will match a very large number of files (e.g. tens of
thousands or more), use <a href="../../../../../org/apache/beam/sdk/io/AvroIO.Read.html#withHintMatchesManyFiles--"><code>AvroIO.Read.withHintMatchesManyFiles()</code></a> for better performance and
scalability. Note that it may decrease performance if the filepattern matches only a small number
of files.
<h2>Writing Avro files</h2>
<p>To write a <a href="../../../../../org/apache/beam/sdk/values/PCollection.html" title="class in org.apache.beam.sdk.values"><code>PCollection</code></a> to one or more Avro files, use <a href="../../../../../org/apache/beam/sdk/io/AvroIO.Write.html" title="class in org.apache.beam.sdk.io"><code>AvroIO.Write</code></a>, using
<code>AvroIO.write().to(String)</code> to specify the output filename prefix. The default <a href="../../../../../org/apache/beam/sdk/io/DefaultFilenamePolicy.html" title="class in org.apache.beam.sdk.io"><code>DefaultFilenamePolicy</code></a> will use this prefix, in conjunction with a <a href="../../../../../org/apache/beam/sdk/io/ShardNameTemplate.html" title="class in org.apache.beam.sdk.io"><code>ShardNameTemplate</code></a> (set
via <a href="../../../../../org/apache/beam/sdk/io/AvroIO.Write.html#withShardNameTemplate-java.lang.String-"><code>AvroIO.Write.withShardNameTemplate(String)</code></a>) and optional filename suffix (set via <a href="../../../../../org/apache/beam/sdk/io/AvroIO.Write.html#withSuffix-java.lang.String-"><code>AvroIO.Write.withSuffix(String)</code></a>, to generate output filenames in a sharded way. You can override this
default write filename policy using <a href="../../../../../org/apache/beam/sdk/io/AvroIO.Write.html#to-org.apache.beam.sdk.io.FileBasedSink.FilenamePolicy-"><code>AvroIO.Write.to(FileBasedSink.FilenamePolicy)</code></a> to specify a
custom file naming policy.
<p>By default, <a href="../../../../../org/apache/beam/sdk/io/AvroIO.Write.html" title="class in org.apache.beam.sdk.io"><code>AvroIO.Write</code></a> produces output files that are compressed using the <a href="http://avro.apache.org/docs/1.7.7/api/java/org/apache/avro/file/Codec.html?is-external=true" title="class or interface in org.apache.avro.file"><code>CodecFactory.snappyCodec()</code></a>. This default can be changed or overridden
using <a href="../../../../../org/apache/beam/sdk/io/AvroIO.Write.html#withCodec-org.apache.avro.file.CodecFactory-"><code>AvroIO.Write.withCodec(org.apache.avro.file.CodecFactory)</code></a>.
<h3>Writing specific or generic records</h3>
<p>To write specific records, such as Avro-generated classes, use <a href="../../../../../org/apache/beam/sdk/io/AvroIO.html#write-java.lang.Class-"><code>write(Class)</code></a>. To write
<a href="http://avro.apache.org/docs/1.7.7/api/java/org/apache/avro/generic/GenericRecord.html?is-external=true" title="class or interface in org.apache.avro.generic"><code>GenericRecords</code></a>, use either <a href="../../../../../org/apache/beam/sdk/io/AvroIO.html#writeGenericRecords-org.apache.avro.Schema-"><code>writeGenericRecords(Schema)</code></a> which takes
a <a href="http://avro.apache.org/docs/1.7.7/api/java/org/apache/avro/Schema.html?is-external=true" title="class or interface in org.apache.avro"><code>Schema</code></a> object, or <a href="../../../../../org/apache/beam/sdk/io/AvroIO.html#writeGenericRecords-java.lang.String-"><code>writeGenericRecords(String)</code></a> which takes a schema in a
JSON-encoded string form. An exception will be thrown if a record doesn't match the specified
schema.
<p>For example:
<pre><code>
// A simple Write to a local file (only runs locally):
PCollection&lt;AvroAutoGenClass&gt; records = ...;
records.apply(AvroIO.write(AvroAutoGenClass.class).to("/path/to/file.avro"));
// A Write to a sharded GCS file (runs locally and using remote execution):
Schema schema = new Schema.Parser().parse(new File("schema.avsc"));
PCollection&lt;GenericRecord&gt; records = ...;
records.apply("WriteToAvro", AvroIO.writeGenericRecords(schema)
.to("gs://my_bucket/path/to/numbers")
.withSuffix(".avro"));
</code></pre>
<h3>Writing windowed or unbounded data</h3>
<p>By default, all input is put into the global window before writing. If per-window writes are
desired - for example, when using a streaming runner - <a href="../../../../../org/apache/beam/sdk/io/AvroIO.Write.html#withWindowedWrites--"><code>AvroIO.Write.withWindowedWrites()</code></a>
will cause windowing and triggering to be preserved. When producing windowed writes with a
streaming runner that supports triggers, the number of output shards must be set explicitly using
<a href="../../../../../org/apache/beam/sdk/io/AvroIO.Write.html#withNumShards-int-"><code>AvroIO.Write.withNumShards(int)</code></a>; some runners may set this for you to a runner-chosen
value, so you may need not set it yourself. A <a href="../../../../../org/apache/beam/sdk/io/FileBasedSink.FilenamePolicy.html" title="class in org.apache.beam.sdk.io"><code>FileBasedSink.FilenamePolicy</code></a> must be set,
and unique windows and triggers must produce unique filenames.
<h3>Writing data to multiple destinations</h3>
<p>The following shows a more-complex example of AvroIO.Write usage, generating dynamic file
destinations as well as a dynamic Avro schema per file. In this example, a PCollection of user
events (e.g. actions on a website) is written out to Avro files. Each event contains the user id
as an integer field. We want events for each user to go into a specific directory for that user,
and each user's data should be written with a specific schema for that user; a side input is
used, so the schema can be calculated in a different stage.
<pre><code>
// This is the user class that controls dynamic destinations for this avro write. The input to
// AvroIO.Write will be UserEvent, and we will be writing GenericRecords to the file (in order
// to have dynamic schemas). Everything is per userid, so we define a dynamic destination type
// of Integer.
class UserDynamicAvroDestinations
extends DynamicAvroDestinations&lt;UserEvent, Integer, GenericRecord&gt; {
private final PCollectionView&lt;Map&lt;Integer, String&gt;&gt; userToSchemaMap;
public UserDynamicAvroDestinations( PCollectionView&lt;Map&lt;Integer, String&gt;&gt; userToSchemaMap) {
this.userToSchemaMap = userToSchemaMap;
}
public GenericRecord formatRecord(UserEvent record) {
return formatUserRecord(record, getSchema(record.getUserId()));
}
public Schema getSchema(Integer userId) {
return new Schema.Parser().parse(sideInput(userToSchemaMap).get(userId));
}
public Integer getDestination(UserEvent record) {
return record.getUserId();
}
public Integer getDefaultDestination() {
return 0;
}
public FilenamePolicy getFilenamePolicy(Integer userId) {
return DefaultFilenamePolicy.fromParams(new Params().withBaseFilename(baseDir + "/user-"
+ userId + "/events"));
}
public List&lt;PCollectionView&lt;?&gt;&gt; getSideInputs() {
return ImmutableList.&lt;PCollectionView&lt;?&gt;&gt;of(userToSchemaMap);
}
}
PCollection&lt;UserEvents&gt; events = ...;
PCollectionView&lt;Map&lt;Integer, String&gt;&gt; userToSchemaMap = events.apply(
"ComputePerUserSchemas", new ComputePerUserSchemas());
events.apply("WriteAvros", AvroIO.&lt;Integer&gt;writeCustomTypeToGenericRecords()
.to(new UserDynamicAvroDestinations(userToSchemaMap)));

<div class="block">A <a href="../../../../../org/apache/beam/sdk/transforms/PTransform.html" title="class in org.apache.beam.sdk.transforms"><code>PTransform</code></a> that writes a <a href="../../../../../org/apache/beam/sdk/values/PCollection.html" title="class in org.apache.beam.sdk.values"><code>PCollection</code></a> to an avro file (or multiple avro files
matching a sharding pattern), with each element of the input collection encoded into its own
record of type OutputT.
<p>This version allows you to apply <a href="../../../../../org/apache/beam/sdk/io/AvroIO.html" title="class in org.apache.beam.sdk.io"><code>AvroIO</code></a> writes to a PCollection of a custom type
<code>UserT</code>. A format mechanism that converts the input type <code>UserT</code> to the output type
that will be written to the file must be specified. If using a custom <a href="../../../../../org/apache/beam/sdk/io/DynamicAvroDestinations.html" title="class in org.apache.beam.sdk.io"><code>DynamicAvroDestinations</code></a> object this is done using <a href="../../../../../org/apache/beam/sdk/io/FileBasedSink.DynamicDestinations.html#formatRecord-UserT-"><code>FileBasedSink.DynamicDestinations.formatRecord(UserT)</code></a>, otherwise the <a href="../../../../../org/apache/beam/sdk/io/AvroIO.TypedWrite.html#withFormatFunction-org.apache.beam.sdk.transforms.SerializableFunction-"><code>AvroIO.TypedWrite.withFormatFunction(org.apache.beam.sdk.transforms.SerializableFunction&lt;UserT, OutputT&gt;)</code></a> can be used to specify a format function.
<p>The advantage of using a custom type is that is it allows a user-provided <a href="../../../../../org/apache/beam/sdk/io/DynamicAvroDestinations.html" title="class in org.apache.beam.sdk.io"><code>DynamicAvroDestinations</code></a> object, set via <a href="../../../../../org/apache/beam/sdk/io/AvroIO.Write.html#to-org.apache.beam.sdk.io.DynamicAvroDestinations-"><code>AvroIO.Write.to(DynamicAvroDestinations)</code></a> to
examine the custom type when choosing a destination.
<p>If the output type is <a href="http://avro.apache.org/docs/1.7.7/api/java/org/apache/avro/generic/GenericRecord.html?is-external=true" title="class or interface in org.apache.avro.generic"><code>GenericRecord</code></a> use <a href="../../../../../org/apache/beam/sdk/io/AvroIO.html#writeCustomTypeToGenericRecords--"><code>writeCustomTypeToGenericRecords()</code></a>
