Split File Handling

The system supports processing files that have been split into multiple parts. The .ok file signals ALL splits are ready.

Split File Discovery Logic

# 1. Pub/Sub receives notification for .ok file
#    Message: {"name": "application1/customers/customers.csv.ok", "bucket": "landing"}

# 2. Sensor extracts entity name from .ok file
#    entity = "customers"  (from customers.csv.ok)

# 3. File discovery finds all matching splits
#    pattern = f"gs://landing/application1/customers/customers*.csv"
#    files = [
#        "gs://landing/application1/customers/customers_1.csv",
#        "gs://landing/application1/customers/customers_2.csv", 
#        "gs://landing/application1/customers/customers_3.csv",
#    ]

# 4. All files processed in single Dataflow job
#    pipeline.read_from_gcs(files)  # Reads all splits

Key Points

Aspect	Behavior
Trigger	Only .ok file triggers processing
Discovery	Pattern match: {entity}*.csv or {entity}_*.csv
Processing	All splits processed in single Dataflow job
Validation	Each split has own HDR/TRL - all validated
Audit	All records get same _run_id

Modules

Module	Purpose	Key Classes
file_management/	HDR/TRL parsing, archival	HDRTRLParser, FileArchiver
validators/	Schema-driven validation	SchemaValidator, ValidationError
pipelines/base/	Base classes	BasePipeline, PipelineConfig
pipelines/beam/transforms/	Beam DoFns	RobustCsvParseDoFn, SchemaValidateRecordDoFn

---

Key Findings

1. Advanced HDR/TRL Parsing

• Configurable Parser: Highly flexible regex-based parsing for header and trailer validation.
• Support: Handles custom patterns, prefixes, and multi-field extraction for diverse source systems.
• Validation: Automated record count and checksum verification against trailer values.

2. Fluent Pipeline API

• BeamPipelineBuilder: Provides a clean, chainable interface for building pipelines:
  • read_csv() / read_from_bigquery()
  • validate() (Schema-driven)
  • transform() (Custom business logic)
  • write_to_bigquery() / write_to_gcs()

3. Schema Validation & PII Masking

• SchemaValidator: Validates records against EntitySchema definitions from core.
• In-flight Masking: Supports PII masking during the ingestion process, ensuring sensitive data is protected before landing in BigQuery.

4. Split File Handling

• Specialized logic for reassembling and processing split files from source systems.

---

Governance & Compliance

• Domain Isolation: Depends on core and beam; MUST NOT import airflow.
• Testing: Every transform and pipeline component requires unit tests using gcp-pipeline-tester.
• Reuse: Prefer using BeamPipelineBuilder for consistent pipeline construction.

Usage

from gcp_pipeline_beam.file_management import HDRTRLParser, FileArchiver
from gcp_pipeline_beam.validators import SchemaValidator
from gcp_pipeline_beam.pipelines.base import BasePipeline, PipelineConfig
from gcp_pipeline_beam.pipelines.beam.transforms import RobustCsvParseDoFn, SchemaValidateRecordDoFn

---

Resource Configuration

The library includes automatic resource configuration based on file sizes. This helps optimize Dataflow worker types and Docker resource limits.

Quick Usage

from gcp_pipeline_beam.pipelines.beam import (
    ResourceConfigurator,
    get_optimal_pipeline_options,
    get_docker_config,
    print_resource_recommendations,
)

# Get recommendations for a 500 MB file
print_resource_recommendations(500)

# Get optimized pipeline options for Dataflow
options = get_optimal_pipeline_options(
    file_size_mb=500,
    project_id="my-project",
    region="europe-west2"
)

# Get Docker configuration
docker_config = get_docker_config(500)
print(f"Memory limit: {docker_config.memory_limit}")
print(f"CPU limit: {docker_config.cpu_limit}")

File Size Guidelines

File Size	Category	Dataflow Worker	Docker Memory
< 100 MB	Small	n1-standard-2	4G
100 MB - 1 GB	Medium	n1-standard-4	8G
1 GB - 10 GB	Large	n1-highmem-8	16G
10 GB - 100 GB	XLarge	n1-highmem-16	32G
> 100 GB	Split Required	Split files first	N/A

Auto-Configure from GCS File

config = ResourceConfigurator(project_id="my-project")

# Auto-detect file size and get optimal options
options = config.get_pipeline_options_for_file("gs://bucket/large-file.csv")

# Get full recommendation summary
summary = config.get_recommendation_summary(5000)  # 5 GB
print(f"Should split: {summary['should_split']}")
print(f"Estimated cost: ${summary['estimates']['cost_usd']}")
