Luke Cwik commented on BEAM-3780: --------------------------------- LengthPrefixUnknownCoders has methods to create a coder specification for the runner and for the SDK. Is the issue that a singular graph representation is being used in the Runner so you can differentiate SDK and Runner specific segments? > Add a utility to instantiate a partially unknown coder > ------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: BEAM-3780 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-3780 > Project: Beam > Issue Type: Bug > Components: runner-core > Reporter: Thomas Groh > Assignee: Thomas Groh > Priority: Major > > Coders must be understood by the SDK harness that is encoding or decoding the > associated elements. However, the pipeline runner is capable of constructing > partial coders, where an unknown coder is replaced with a ByteArrayCoder. It > then can decompose the portions of elements it is aware of, without having to > understand the custom element encodings. > > This should go in CoderTranslation, as an alternative to the full-fidelity > rehydration of a coder. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
