Ryan Williams commented on BEAM-4742: ------------------------------------- OK these were both basically mistakes on my part: {{FileBasedSink.initialize_write }} [creates the directories containing the output path|https://github.com/apache/beam/blob/a8eaa1b3ec0544de8b56dd504bc249d4c1a2017f/sdks/python/apache_beam/io/filebasedsink.py#L162], so [~angoenka]'s guess as to why I might've seen the {{IOError}} above is that I had a typo in the output path and was trying to create a top-level directory I didn't have permissions for (e.g. {{/tmpz}}). On the point about observing the output of a portable wordcount example, the output gets written to the filesystem inside the docker container; {{docker ps}} will display the ID of the container, {{docker exec -it <id> bash}} will attach a shell to it, and then {{ls}} etc will allow inspecting the output files. [The metrics normally collected/logged when running wordcount in {{DirectRunner}}|https://github.com/apache/beam/blob/f063b157eea480d079c4e966e528eef050a0c192/sdks/python/apache_beam/examples/wordcount.py#L121-L134] are not collected and/or not output in {{PortableRunner}} atm. > Allow custom docker-image in portable wordcount example > ------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: BEAM-4742 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-4742 > Project: Beam > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: examples-python > Affects Versions: 2.5.0 > Reporter: Ryan Williams > Assignee: Ryan Williams > Priority: Minor > Time Spent: 2h > Remaining Estimate: 0h > > I hit a couple snags [running the portable wordcount > example|https://github.com/apache/beam/blob/997ee3afe74483ae44e2dcb32ca0e24876129cd9/sdks/python/build.gradle#L200-L214]: > * -[the default docker image is hard-coded to a bintray > URL|https://github.com/apache/beam/blob/997ee3afe74483ae44e2dcb32ca0e24876129cd9/sdks/python/apache_beam/runners/portability/portable_runner.py#L60-L68], > but I published my image to Docker Hub- I missed that [there's already a > pipeline option for > this|https://github.com/apache/beam/pull/5902#discussion_r201071859]! Thanks > [~lcwik] > * the default output path is in a temporary directory that doesn't exist at > the time of the {{open}} call, so I got {{IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or > directory}} > I'll send a PR with fixes to each of these shortly. > I've also not found where to observe output from successfully running the > example. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
