I want to join two PCollection (from a different input respectively) and implement by following the step described here, "Joins with CoGroupByKey" section: https://cloud.google.com/dataflow/model/group-by-key
In my case, I want to join GeoIP's "block" information and "location" information. So I defined Block and Location as a custom class and then wrote like below:
final TupleTag<Block> t1 = new TupleTag<Block>();
final TupleTag<Location> t2 = new TupleTag<Location>();
PCollection<KV<Long, CoGbkResult>> coGbkResultColl = KeyedPCollectionTuple.of(t1, kvGeoNameIDBlock)
.and(t2, kvGeoNameIDLocation).apply(CoGroupByKey.<Long>create());
A key has a Long type value. I thought it's done but when I run mvn compile, it outputs a following error:
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.codehaus.mojo:exec-maven-plugin:1.4.0:java (default-cli) on project xxxx: An exception occured while executing the Java class. null: InvocationTargetException: Unable to return a default Coder for Extract GeoNameID-Block KV/ParMultiDo(ExtractGeoNameIDBlock).out0 [PCollection]. Correct one of the following root causes:
[ERROR] No Coder has been manually specified; you may do so using .setCoder().
[ERROR] Inferring a Coder from the CoderRegistry failed: Cannot provide coder for parameterized type org.apache.beam.sdk.values.KV<java.lang.Long, com.xxx.platform.geoip2.Block>: Unable to provide a Coder for com.xxx.platform.geoip2.Block.
[ERROR] Building a Coder using a registered CoderProvider failed.
[ERROR] See suppressed exceptions for detailed failures.
[ERROR] Using the default output Coder from the producing PTransform failed: Cannot provide coder for parameterized type org.apache.beam.sdk.values.KV<java.lang.Long, com.xxx.platform.geoip2.Block>: Unable to provide a Coder for com.xxx.platform.geoip2.Block.
The exact DoFn which outputs an error is ExtractGeoNameIDBlock, which simply creates a key-value pair of its key (to be joined) and itself.
// ExtractGeoNameIDBlock creates KV collection while reading from block CSV
static class ExtractGeoNameIDBlock extends DoFn<String, KV<Long, Block>> {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
@ProcessElement
public void processElement(ProcessContext c) throws Exception {
String line = c.element();
if (!line.startsWith("network,")) { // exclude headerline
Block b = new Block();
b.loadFromCsvLine(line);
if (b.getGeonameId() != null) {
c.output(KV.of(b.getGeonameId(), b));
}
}
}
}
loadFromCsvLine just parse CSV line, convert fields to each corresponding type and assign to its private fields.
So it looks I need to set some coder to my custom class to make it work. I found a document referring the coder but still not sure how I can implement mine. https://cloud.google.com/dataflow/model/data-encoding
Is there any real example that I can follow to create a custom coder for my custom class?
[Update 13:02 09/26/2017] I added
CoderRegistry cr = p.getCoderRegistry();
cr.registerCoderForClass(Block.class, AvroCoder.of(Block.class));
And then got an error
java.lang.NullPointerException: in com.xxx.platform.geoip2.Block in long null of long in field representedCountryGeonameId of com.xxx.platform.geoip2.Block
[Update 14:05 09/26/2017] I changed the implementation like this:
@DefaultCoder(AvroCoder.class)
public class Block {
private static final Logger LOG = LoggerFactory.getLogger(Block.class);
@Nullable
public String network;
@Nullable
public Long registeredCountryGeonameId;
:
:
(Set @Nullable to all properties)
But still got this error:
