> Project: Beam
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: io-java-aws, sdk-java-core

> There is a performance issue when processing a large number of small Avro
> files in Spark on K8S (tens of thousands or more).
> The recommended way of reading a pattern of Avro files in Beam is by means of:
>
> {code:java}
> PCollection<AvroGenClass> records = p.apply(AvroIO.read(AvroGenClass.class)
> .from("s3://my-bucket/path-to/*.avro").withHintMatchesManyFiles())
> {code}
> However, in the case of many small files, the above results in the entire
> reading taking place in a single task/node, which is considerably slow and
> has scalability issues.
> The option of omitting the hint is not viable, as it results in too many
> tasks being spawn, and the cluster being busy doing coordination of tiny
> tasks with high overhead.
> There are a few workarounds on the internet which mainly revolve around
> compacting the input files before processing, so that a reduced number of
> bulky files is processed in parallel.
