ASF GitHub Bot logged work on BEAM-9008: ---------------------------------------- Author: ASF GitHub Bot Created on: 23/Jan/20 21:26 Start Date: 23/Jan/20 21:26 Worklog Time Spent: 10m Work Description: vmarquez commented on issue #10546: [BEAM-9008] Add CassandraIO readAll method URL: https://github.com/apache/beam/pull/10546#issuecomment-576998681 Thanks for taking a look, I've pushed a new commit (I won't be squashing anymore until we finalize everything) that hopefully addresses all the minor style issues. LMK if I missed anything. I do want to make sure we keep the cassandraIO 'idiomatic' to the rest of the IO connectors, but I don't think modeling this after the SOLR one will work. For one thing, if we want to share the `ReadFn` class between both Read and ReadAll, it means we have to have some way of having both use it and pass in 'connection' information, which we can't do if the signature of ReadFn is `ReadFn extends DoFn<ReadAll<A>, A>`. (unless we copy everything over into a new ReadAll<A> whenever we create a Read<A> which seems a bit clumsy?) I think another class to look at for something that has both Read and ReadAll PTransforms is the SpannerIO, which is modeled similarly to how I did it here (though not exactly). https://github.com/apache/beam/blob/master/sdks/java/io/google-cloud-platform/src/main/java/org/apache/beam/sdk/io/gcp/spanner/SpannerIO.java#L315 They have a configuration class there is public (which we can't do since we want to keep backwards compatibility with the current way `Read` works), it has two different PTransforms, `Read` uses `ReadAll` internally, etc. I do think instead of taking a collection of RingRanges, taking some sort of 'Query' object makes sense, and the idea that it doesn't have to tie in to the actual connection means we can split up the CassandraConfig class.
