"""A thread safe object used by Dataflow source framework.
A Dataflow source is defined using a ''BoundedSource'' and a ''RangeTracker''

dynamic work rebalancing of position-based sources.
**Position-based sources**
A position-based source is one where the source can be described by a range
of positions of an ordered type and the records returned by the reader can be
described by positions of the same type.
In case a record occupies a range of positions in the source, the most
important thing about the record is the position where it starts.
Defining the semantics of positions for a source is entirely up to the source
class, however the chosen definitions have to obey certain properties in order
to make it possible to correctly split the source into parts, including
dynamic splitting. Two main aspects need to be defined:
1. How to assign starting positions to records.
2. Which records should be read by a source with a range '[A, B)'.
Moreover, reading a range must be *efficient*, i.e., the performance of
reading a range should not significantly depend on the location of the range.
For example, reading the range [A, B) should not require reading all data
before 'A'.
The sections below explain exactly what properties these definitions must
satisfy, and how to use a ``RangeTracker`` with a properly defined source.
**Properties of position-based sources**
The main requirement for position-based sources is *associativity*: reading
records from '[A, B)' and records from '[B, C)' should give the same
records as reading from '[A, C)', where 'A <= B <= C'. This property
ensures that no matter how a range of positions is split into arbitrarily many
sub-ranges, the total set of records described by them stays the same.
The other important property is how the source's range relates to positions of
records in the source. In many sources each record can be identified by a
unique starting position. In this case:
* All records returned by a source '[A, B)' must have starting positions in
this range.
* All but the last record should end within this range. The last record may or
may not extend past the end of the range.
* Records should not overlap.
Such sources should define "read '[A, B)'" as "read from the first record
starting at or after 'A', up to but not including the first record starting
at or after 'B'".
Some examples of such sources include reading lines or CSV from a text file,
reading keys and values from a BigTable, etc.
The concept of *split points* allows to extend the definitions for dealing
with sources where some records cannot be identified by a unique starting
position.
In all cases, all records returned by a source '[A, B)' must *start* at or
after 'A'.
**Split points**
Some sources may have records that are not directly addressable. For example,
imagine a file format consisting of a sequence of compressed blocks. Each
block can be assigned an offset, but records within the block cannot be
directly addressed without decompressing the block. Let us refer to this
hypothetical format as <i>CBF (Compressed Blocks Format)</i>.
Many such formats can still satisfy the associativity property. For example,
in CBF, reading '[A, B)' can mean "read all the records in all blocks whose
starting offset is in '[A, B)'".
To support such complex formats, we introduce the notion of *split points*. We
say that a record is a split point if there exists a position 'A' such that
the record is the first one to be returned when reading the range
'[A, infinity)'. In CBF, the only split points would be the first records
in each block.
Split points allow us to define the meaning of a record's position and a
source's range in all cases:
* For a record that is at a split point, its position is defined to be the
largest 'A' such that reading a source with the range '[A, infinity)'
returns this record.
* Positions of other records are only required to be non-decreasing.
* Reading the source '[A, B)' must return records starting from the first
split point at or after 'A', up to but not including the first split point
at or after 'B'. In particular, this means that the first record returned
by a source MUST always be a split point.
* Positions of split points must be unique.
As a result, for any decomposition of the full range of the source into
position ranges, the total set of records will be the full set of records in
the source, and each record will be read exactly once.
**Consumed positions**
As the source is being read, and records read from it are being passed to the
downstream transforms in the pipeline, we say that positions in the source are
being *consumed*. When a reader has read a record (or promised to a caller
that a record will be returned), positions up to and including the record's
start position are considered *consumed*.
Dynamic splitting can happen only at *unconsumed* positions. If the reader
just returned a record at offset 42 in a file, dynamic splitting can happen
only at offset 43 or beyond, as otherwise that record could be read twice (by
the current reader and by a reader of the task starting at 43).

** General information about consumed and remaining number of split
points returned by this method. **
* Before a source read (``BoundedSource.read()`` invocation) claims the
first split point, number of consumed split points is 0. This condition
holds independent of whether the input is "splittable". A splittable
source is a source that has more than one split point.
* Any source read that has only claimed one split point has 0 consumed
split points since the first split point is the current split point and
is still being processed. This condition holds independent of whether
the input is splittable.
* For an empty source read which never invokes
``RangeTracker.try_claim()``, the consumed number of split points is 0.
This condition holds independent of whether the input is splittable.
* For a source read which has invoked ``RangeTracker.try_claim()`` n
times, the consumed number of split points is n -1.
* If a ``BoundedSource`` sets a callback through function
``set_split_points_unclaimed_callback()``, ``RangeTracker`` can use that
callback when determining remaining number of split points.
* Remaining split points should include the split point that is currently
being consumed by the source read. Hence if the above callback returns
an integer value n, remaining number of split points should be (n + 1).
* After last split point is claimed remaining split points becomes 1,
because this unfinished read itself represents an unfinished split
point.
* After all records of the source has been consumed, remaining number of
split points becomes 0 and consumed number of split points becomes equal
to the total number of split points within the range being read by the
source. This method does not address this condition and will continue to
report number of consumed split points as
("total number of split points" - 1) and number of remaining split
points as 1. A runner that performs the reading of the source can
detect when all records have been consumed and adjust remaining and
consumed number of split points accordingly.
** Examples **
(1) A "perfectly splittable" input which can be read in parallel down to the
individual records.
Consider a perfectly splittable input that consists of 50 split points.
* Before a source read (``BoundedSource.read()`` invocation) claims the
first split point, number of consumed split points is 0 number of
remaining split points is 50.
* After claiming first split point, consumed number of split points is 0
and remaining number of split is 50.
* After claiming split point #30, consumed number of split points is 29
and remaining number of split points is 21.
* After claiming all 50 split points, consumed number of split points is
49 and remaining number of split points is 1.
(2) a "block-compressed" file format such as ``avroio``, in which a block of
records has to be read as a whole, but different blocks can be read in
parallel.
Consider a block compressed input that consists of 5 blocks.
* Before a source read (``BoundedSource.read()`` invocation) claims the
first split point (first block), number of consumed split points is 0
number of remaining split points is 5.
* After claiming first split point, consumed number of split points is 0
and remaining number of split is 5.
* After claiming split point #3, consumed number of split points is 2
and remaining number of split points is 3.
* After claiming all 5 split points, consumed number of split points is
4 and remaining number of split points is 1.
(3) an "unsplittable" input such as a cursor in a database or a gzip
compressed file.
Such an input is considered to have only a single split point. Number of
consumed split points is always 0 and number of remaining split points
is always 1.
By default ``RangeTracker` returns ``RangeTracker.SPLIT_POINTS_UNKNOWN`` for
both consumed and remaining number of split points, which indicates that the
number of split points consumed and remaining is unknown.

class Sink(HasDisplayData):
"""This class is deprecated, no backwards-compatibility guarantees.
A resource that can be written to using the ``beam.io.Write`` transform.
Here ``beam`` stands for Apache Beam Python code imported in following manner.
``import apache_beam as beam``.
A parallel write to an ``iobase.Sink`` consists of three phases:
1. A sequential *initialization* phase (e.g., creating a temporary output
directory, etc.)
2. A parallel write phase where workers write *bundles* of records
3. A sequential *finalization* phase (e.g., committing the writes, merging
output files, etc.)
Implementing a new sink requires extending two classes.
1. iobase.Sink
``iobase.Sink`` is an immutable logical description of the location/resource
to write to. Depending on the type of sink, it may contain fields such as the
path to an output directory on a filesystem, a database table name,
etc. ``iobase.Sink`` provides methods for performing a write operation to the
sink described by it. To this end, implementors of an extension of
``iobase.Sink`` must implement three methods:
``initialize_write()``, ``open_writer()``, and ``finalize_write()``.
2. iobase.Writer
``iobase.Writer`` is used to write a single bundle of records. An
``iobase.Writer`` defines two methods: ``write()`` which writes a
single record from the bundle and ``close()`` which is called once
at the end of writing a bundle.
See also ``apache_beam.io.filebasedsink.FileBasedSink`` which provides a
simpler API for writing sinks that produce files.
**Execution of the Write transform**
``initialize_write()``, ``pre_finalize()``, and ``finalize_write()`` are
conceptually called once. However, implementors must
ensure that these methods are *idempotent*, as they may be called multiple
times on different machines in the case of failure/retry. A method may be
called more than once concurrently, in which case it's okay to have a
transient failure (such as due to a race condition). This failure should not
prevent subsequent retries from succeeding.
``initialize_write()`` should perform any initialization that needs to be done
prior to writing to the sink. ``initialize_write()`` may return a result
(let's call this ``init_result``) that contains any parameters it wants to
pass on to its writers about the sink. For example, a sink that writes to a
file system may return an ``init_result`` that contains a dynamically
generated unique directory to which data should be written.
To perform writing of a bundle of elements, Dataflow execution engine will
create an ``iobase.Writer`` using the implementation of
``iobase.Sink.open_writer()``. When invoking ``open_writer()`` execution
engine will provide the ``init_result`` returned by ``initialize_write()``
invocation as well as a *bundle id* (let's call this ``bundle_id``) that is
unique for each invocation of ``open_writer()``.
Execution engine will then invoke ``iobase.Writer.write()`` implementation for
each element that has to be written. Once all elements of a bundle are
written, execution engine will invoke ``iobase.Writer.close()`` implementation
which should return a result (let's call this ``write_result``) that contains
information that encodes the result of the write and, in most cases, some
encoding of the unique bundle id. For example, if each bundle is written to a
unique temporary file, ``close()`` method may return an object that contains
the temporary file name. After writing of all bundles is complete, execution
engine will invoke ``pre_finalize()`` and then ``finalize_write()``
implementation.
The execution of a write transform can be illustrated using following pseudo
code (assume that the outer for loop happens in parallel across many
machines)::
init_result = sink.initialize_write()
write_results = []
for bundle in partition(pcoll):
writer = sink.open_writer(init_result, generate_bundle_id())
for elem in bundle:
writer.write(elem)
write_results.append(writer.close())
pre_finalize_result = sink.pre_finalize(init_result, write_results)
sink.finalize_write(init_result, write_results, pre_finalize_result)
**init_result**
Methods of 'iobase.Sink' should agree on the 'init_result' type that will be
returned when initializing the sink. This type can be a client-defined object
or an existing type. The returned type must be picklable using Dataflow coder
``coders.PickleCoder``. Returning an init_result is optional.
**bundle_id**
In order to ensure fault-tolerance, a bundle may be executed multiple times
(e.g., in the event of failure/retry or for redundancy). However, exactly one
of these executions will have its result passed to the
``iobase.Sink.finalize_write()`` method. Each call to
``iobase.Sink.open_writer()`` is passed a unique bundle id when it is called
by the ``WriteImpl`` transform, so even redundant or retried bundles will have
a unique way of identifying their output.
The bundle id should be used to guarantee that a bundle's output is unique.
This uniqueness guarantee is important; if a bundle is to be output to a file,
for example, the name of the file must be unique to avoid conflicts with other
writers. The bundle id should be encoded in the writer result returned by the
writer and subsequently used by the ``finalize_write()`` method to identify
the results of successful writes.
For example, consider the scenario where a Writer writes files containing
serialized records and the ``finalize_write()`` is to merge or rename these
output files. In this case, a writer may use its unique id to name its output
file (to avoid conflicts) and return the name of the file it wrote as its
writer result. The ``finalize_write()`` will then receive an ``Iterable`` of
output file names that it can then merge or rename using some bundle naming
scheme.
**write_result**
``iobase.Writer.close()`` and ``finalize_write()`` implementations must agree
on type of the ``write_result`` object returned when invoking
``iobase.Writer.close()``. This type can be a client-defined object or
an existing type. The returned type must be picklable using Dataflow coder
``coders.PickleCoder``. Returning a ``write_result`` when
``iobase.Writer.close()`` is invoked is optional but if unique
``write_result`` objects are not returned, sink should, guarantee idempotency
when same bundle is written multiple times due to failure/retry or redundancy.

Given the result of initialization and an iterable of results from bundle

after all bundle writes are complete.
The bundle write results that are passed to finalize are those returned by
bundles that completed successfully. Although bundles may have been run
multiple times (for fault-tolerance), only one writer result will be passed
to finalize for each bundle. An implementation of finalize should perform
clean up of any failed and successfully retried bundles. Note that these
failed bundles will not have their writer result passed to finalize, so
finalize should be capable of locating any temporary/partial output written
by failed bundles.
If all retries of a bundle fails, the whole pipeline will fail *without*
finalize_write() being invoked.
A best practice is to make finalize atomic. If this is impossible given the
semantics of the sink, finalize should be idempotent, as it may be called
multiple times in the case of failure/retry or for redundancy.
Note that the iteration order of the writer results is not guaranteed to be
consistent if finalize is called multiple times.

A sink should inherit ``iobase.Sink``. Such implementations are
handled using a composite transform that consists of three ``ParDo``s -
(1) a ``ParDo`` performing a global initialization (2) a ``ParDo`` performing
a parallel write and (3) a ``ParDo`` performing a global finalization. In the
case of an empty ``PCollection``, only the global initialization and
finalization will be performed. Currently only batch workflows support custom
sinks.
Example usage::
pcollection | beam.io.Write(MySink())
This returns a ``pvalue.PValue`` object that represents the end of the
Pipeline.
The sink argument may also be a full PTransform, in which case it will be
applied directly. This allows composite sink-like transforms (e.g. a sink
with some pre-processing DoFns) to be used the same as all other sinks.
This transform also supports sinks that inherit ``iobase.NativeSink``. These
are sinks that are implemented natively by the Dataflow service and hence
should not be updated by users. These sinks are processed using a Dataflow
native write transform.
