[GO] Apache Beam Cheat Sheet [Python]

Introduction

This article summarizes the Transforms provided by the Apache Beam Python SDK. By knowing all the Transforms that can be called easily, I think that you can plan the implementation more quickly.

Element-by-element processing | Element-wise

ParDo-Run DoFn

Consider each element of the PCollection and perform some processing (DoFn).

test_par_do.py


from unittest import TestCase

import apache_beam as beam
from apache_beam.testing.test_pipeline import TestPipeline
from apache_beam.testing.util import assert_that, equal_to


class ComputeWordLength(beam.DoFn):

    def __init__(self):
        super(ComputeWordLength, self).__init__()

    def process(self, element):
        yield len(element)


class TestParDo(TestCase):

    def test_par_do(self):
        expected = [5, 3, 7, 7, 5]

        inputs = ['Alice', 'Bob', 'Cameron', 'Daniele', 'Ellen']

        with TestPipeline() as p:
            actual = (p
                      | beam.Create(inputs)
                      | beam.ParDo(ComputeWordLength()))

            assert_that(actual, equal_to(expected))

Filter --Element filtering

Filters the elements of the PCollection.

test_filter.py


from unittest import TestCase

import apache_beam as beam
from apache_beam.testing.test_pipeline import TestPipeline
from apache_beam.testing.util import assert_that, equal_to


class TestFilter(TestCase):

    def test_filter(self):
        expected = ['A']

        inputs = ['A', 'B', 'C']

        with TestPipeline() as p:
            actual = (p
                      | beam.Create(inputs)
                      | beam.Filter(lambda element: element.startswith('A')))

            assert_that(actual, equal_to(expected))

Map-Apply function to element

        inputs = ['Alice', 'Bob', 'Cameron', 'Daniele', 'Ellen']

        with TestPipeline() as p:
            actual = (p
                      | beam.Create(inputs)
                      | beam.Map(lambda element: len(element)))

            assert_that(actual, equal_to(expected))

FlatMap-Apply function to element (repeated)

Apply a function to each element of the PCollection.

test_flat_map.py


from unittest import TestCase

import apache_beam as beam
from apache_beam.testing.test_pipeline import TestPipeline
from apache_beam.testing.util import assert_that, equal_to


class TestFlatMap(TestCase):

    def test_flat_map(self):
        expected = [5, 3, 7, 7, 5]

        inputs = [['Alice', 'Bob'], ['Cameron', 'Daniele', 'Ellen']]

        with TestPipeline() as p:
            actual = (p
                      | beam.Create(inputs)
                      | beam.FlatMap(lambda element: [len(e) for e in element]))

Summary

The Apache Beam Python SDK provides a wealth of Transforms (although less than Java). I would like to update it as new features are provided.

I hope you can refer to it when you want to remember the Transform of Apache Beam.
