| 6 | + |
| 7 | +Samples showing how to create and run an |
| 8 | +[Apache Beam](https://beam.apache.org/) template with a custom Docker image on |
| 9 | +[Google Cloud Dataflow](https://cloud.google.com/dataflow/docs/). |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +## Before you begin |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +Follow the |
| 14 | +[Getting started with Google Cloud Dataflow](../README.md) |
| 15 | +page, and make sure you have a Google Cloud project with billing enabled |
| 16 | +and a *service account JSON key* set up in your `GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS` |
| 17 | +environment variable. |
| 18 | +Additionally, for this sample you need the following: |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +1. [Enable the APIs](https://console.cloud.google.com/flows/enableapi?apiid=appengine.googleapis.com,cloudscheduler.googleapis.com,cloudbuild.googleapis.com): |
| 21 | + App Engine, Cloud Scheduler, Cloud Build. |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +1. Create a |
| 24 | + [Cloud Storage bucket](https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/creating-buckets). |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | + ```sh |
| 27 | + export BUCKET="your-gcs-bucket" |
| 28 | + gsutil mb gs://$BUCKET |
| 29 | + ``` |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +1. Create a |
| 32 | + [Pub/Sub topic](https://cloud.google.com/pubsub/docs/admin#creating_a_topic) |
| 33 | + and a |
| 34 | + [subscription](https://cloud.google.com/pubsub/docs/admin#creating_subscriptions) |
| 35 | + to that topic. |
| 36 | + This is a streaming source of data for the sample. |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | + ```sh |
| 39 | + # For simplicity we use the same topic name as the subscription name. |
| 40 | + export TOPIC="messages" |
| 41 | + export SUBSCRIPTION="$TOPIC" |
| 42 | +
|
| 43 | + gcloud pubsub topics create $TOPIC |
| 44 | + gcloud pubsub subscriptions create --topic $TOPIC $SUBSCRIPTION |
| 45 | + ``` |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +1. Create a |
| 48 | + [Cloud Scheduler job](https://cloud.google.com/scheduler/docs/quickstart) |
| 49 | + to publish "positive" and "negative" ratings every |
| 50 | + [1 and 2 minutes](https://cloud.google.com/scheduler/docs/configuring/cron-job-schedules). |
| 51 | + This publishes messages to the Pub/Sub source topic. |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | + ```sh |
| 54 | + # Create a publisher for "positive ratings" that publishes 1 message per minute |
| 55 | + # If an App Engine app does not exist for the project, this step will create one. |
| 56 | + gcloud scheduler jobs create pubsub positive-ratings-publisher \ |
| 57 | + --schedule="* * * * *" \ |
| 58 | + --topic="$TOPIC" \ |
| 59 | + --message-body='{"url": "https://beam.apache.org/", "review": "positive"}' |
| 60 | +
|
| 61 | + # Start the job. |
| 62 | + gcloud scheduler jobs run positive-ratings-publisher |
| 63 | +
|
| 64 | + # Create and run another similar publisher for "negative ratings" that |
| 65 | + # publishes 1 message every 2 minutes. |
| 66 | + gcloud scheduler jobs create pubsub negative-ratings-publisher \ |
| 67 | + --schedule="*/2 * * * *" \ |
| 68 | + --topic="$TOPIC" \ |
| 69 | + --message-body='{"url": "https://beam.apache.org/", "review": "negative"}' |
| 70 | +
|
| 71 | + gcloud scheduler jobs run negative-ratings-publisher |
| 72 | + ``` |
| 73 | + |
| 74 | +1. Create a [BigQuery dataset](https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/datasets). |
| 75 | + This is a table to write the output data. |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | + ```sh |
| 78 | + export PROJECT="$(gcloud config get-value project)" |
| 79 | + export DATASET="beam_samples" |
| 80 | + export TABLE="streaming_beam" |
| 81 | +
|
| 82 | + bq mk --dataset "$PROJECT:$DATASET" |
| 83 | + ``` |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | +1. Clone the |
| 86 | + [`python-docs-samples` repository](https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/python-docs-samples) |
| 87 | + and navigate to the code sample. |
| 88 | + |
| 89 | + ```sh |
| 90 | + git clone https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/python-docs-samples.git |
| 91 | + cd python-docs-samples/dataflow/flex-templates/streaming_beam |
| 92 | + ``` |
| 93 | + |
| 94 | +## Pub/Sub to BigQuery sample |
| 95 | + |
| 96 | +This sample shows how to deploy an Apache Beam streaming pipeline that reads |
| 97 | +[JSON encoded](https://www.w3schools.com/whatis/whatis_json.asp) messages from |
| 98 | +[Pub/Sub](https://cloud.google.com/pubsub), |
| 99 | +transforms the message data, and writes the results to a |
| 100 | +[BigQuery](https://cloud.google.com/bigquery) table. |
| 101 | + |
| 102 | +* [Dockerfile](Dockerfile) |
| 103 | +* [streaming_beam.py](streaming_beam) |
| 104 | +* [metadata.json](metadata.json) |
| 105 | + |
| 106 | +### Building a container image |
| 107 | + |
| 108 | +We will build the |
| 109 | +[Docker](https://docs.docker.com/engine/docker-overview/) |
| 110 | +image for the Apache Beam pipeline. |
| 111 | +We are using |
| 112 | +[Cloud Build](https://cloud.google.com/cloud-build) |
| 113 | +so we don't need a local installation of Docker. |
| 114 | +
|
| 115 | +> ℹ️ You can speed up subsequent builds with |
| 116 | +> [Kaniko cache](https://cloud.google.com/cloud-build/docs/kaniko-cache) |
| 117 | +> in Cloud Build. |
| 118 | +> |
| 119 | +> ```sh |
| 120 | +> # (Optional) Enable to use Kaniko cache by default. |
| 121 | +> gcloud config set builds/use_kaniko True |
| 122 | +> ``` |
| 123 | +
|
| 124 | +Cloud Build allows you to |
| 125 | +[build a Docker image using a `Dockerfile`](https://cloud.google.com/cloud-build/docs/quickstart-docker#build_using_dockerfile). |
| 126 | +and saves it into |
| 127 | +[Container Registry](https://cloud.google.com/container-registry/), |
| 128 | +where the image is accessible to other Google Cloud products. |
| 129 | +
|
| 130 | +```sh |
| 131 | +export TEMPLATE_IMAGE="gcr.io/$PROJECT/samples/dataflow/streaming-beam:latest" |
| 132 | +
|
| 133 | +# Build the image into Container Registry, this is roughly equivalent to: |
| 134 | +# gcloud auth configure-docker |
| 135 | +# docker image build -t $TEMPLATE_IMAGE . |
| 136 | +# docker push $TEMPLATE_IMAGE |
| 137 | +gcloud builds submit --tag "$TEMPLATE_IMAGE" . |
| 138 | +``` |
| 139 | +
|
| 140 | +Images starting with `gcr.io/PROJECT/` are saved into your project's |
| 141 | +Container Registry, where the image is accessible to other Google Cloud products. |
| 142 | + |
| 143 | +### Creating a Flex Template |
| 144 | + |
| 145 | +To run a template, you need to create a *template spec* file containing all the |
| 146 | +necessary information to run the job, such as the SDK information and metadata. |
| 147 | + |
| 148 | +The [`metadata.json`](metadata.json) file contains additional information for |
| 149 | +the template such as the "name", "description", and input "parameters" field. |
| 150 | + |
| 151 | +The template file must be created in a Cloud Storage location, |
| 152 | +and is used to run a new Dataflow job. |
| 153 | + |
| 154 | +```sh |
| 155 | +export TEMPLATE_PATH="gs://$BUCKET/samples/dataflow/templates/streaming-beam.json" |
| 156 | +
|
| 157 | +# Build the Flex Template. |
| 158 | +gcloud beta dataflow flex-template build $TEMPLATE_PATH \ |
| 159 | + --image "$TEMPLATE_IMAGE" \ |
| 160 | + --sdk-language "PYTHON" \ |
| 161 | + --metadata-file "metadata.json" |
| 162 | +``` |
| 163 | + |
| 164 | +The template is now available through the template file in the Cloud Storage |
| 165 | +location that you specified. |
| 166 | + |
| 167 | +### Running a Dataflow Flex Template pipeline |
| 168 | + |
| 169 | +You can now run the Apache Beam pipeline in Dataflow by referring to the |
| 170 | +template file and passing the template |
| 171 | +[parameters](https://cloud.devsite.corp.google.com/dataflow/docs/guides/specifying-exec-params#setting-other-cloud-dataflow-pipeline-options) |
| 172 | +required by the pipeline. |
| 173 | + |
| 174 | +```sh |
| 175 | +# Run the Flex Template. |
| 176 | +gcloud beta dataflow flex-template run "streaming-beam-`date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S`" \ |
| 177 | + --template-file-gcs-location "$TEMPLATE_PATH" \ |
| 178 | + --parameters "input_subscription=$SUBSCRIPTION,output_table=$PROJECT:$DATASET.$TABLE" |
| 179 | +``` |
| 180 | + |
| 181 | +Check the results in BigQuery by running the following query: |
| 182 | + |
| 183 | +```sh |
| 184 | +bq query --use_legacy_sql=false 'SELECT * FROM `'"$PROJECT.$DATASET.$TABLE"'`' |
| 185 | +``` |
| 186 | + |
| 187 | +While this pipeline is running, you can see new rows appended into the BigQuery |
| 188 | +table every minute. |
| 189 | + |
| 190 | +You can manually publish more messages from the |
| 191 | +[Cloud Scheduler page](https://console.cloud.google.com/cloudscheduler) |
| 192 | +to see how that affects the page review scores. |
| 193 | + |
| 194 | +You can also publish messages directly to a topic through the |
| 195 | +[Pub/Sub topics page](https://console.cloud.google.com/cloudpubsub/topic/list) |
| 196 | +by selecting the topic you want to publish to, |
| 197 | +and then clicking the "Publish message" button at the top. |
| 198 | +This way you can test your pipeline with different URLs, |
| 199 | +just make sure you pass valid JSON data since this sample does not do any |
| 200 | +error handling for code simplicity. |
| 201 | + |
| 202 | +Try sending the following message and check back the BigQuery table about |
| 203 | +a minute later. |
| 204 | + |
| 205 | +```json |
| 206 | +{"url": "https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/", "review": "positive"} |
| 207 | +``` |
| 208 | + |
| 209 | +### Cleaning up |
| 210 | + |
| 211 | +After you've finished this tutorial, you can clean up the resources you created |
| 212 | +on Google Cloud so you won't be billed for them in the future. |
| 213 | +The following sections describe how to delete or turn off these resources. |
| 214 | + |
| 215 | +#### Clean up the Flex template resources |
| 216 | + |
| 217 | +1. Stop the Dataflow pipeline. |
| 218 | + |
| 219 | + ```sh |
| 220 | + gcloud dataflow jobs list \ |
| 221 | + --filter 'NAME:streaming-beam AND STATE=Running' \ |
| 222 | + --format 'value(JOB_ID)' \ |
| 223 | + | xargs gcloud dataflow jobs cancel |
| 224 | + ``` |
| 225 | + |
| 226 | +1. Delete the template spec file from Cloud Storage. |
| 227 | + |
| 228 | + ```sh |
| 229 | + gsutil rm $TEMPLATE_PATH |
| 230 | + ``` |
| 231 | + |
| 232 | +1. Delete the Flex Template container image from Container Registry. |
| 233 | + |
| 234 | + ```sh |
| 235 | + gcloud container images delete $TEMPLATE_IMAGE --force-delete-tags |
| 236 | + ``` |
| 237 | + |
| 238 | +#### Clean up Google Cloud project resources |
| 239 | + |
| 240 | +1. Delete the Cloud Scheduler jobs. |
| 241 | + |
| 242 | + ```sh |
| 243 | + gcloud scheduler jobs delete negative-ratings-publisher |
| 244 | + gcloud scheduler jobs delete positive-ratings-publisher |
| 245 | + ``` |
| 246 | + |
| 247 | +1. Delete the Pub/Sub subscription and topic. |
| 248 | + |
| 249 | + ```sh |
| 250 | + gcloud pubsub subscriptions delete $SUBSCRIPTION |
| 251 | + gcloud pubsub topics delete $TOPIC |
| 252 | + ``` |
| 253 | + |
| 254 | +1. Delete the BigQuery table. |
| 255 | + |
| 256 | + ```sh |
| 257 | + bq rm -f -t $PROJECT:$DATASET.$TABLE |
| 258 | + ``` |
| 259 | + |
| 260 | +1. Delete the BigQuery dataset, this alone does not incur any charges. |
| 261 | + |
| 262 | + > ⚠️ The following command also deletes all tables in the dataset. |
| 263 | + > The tables and data cannot be recovered. |
| 264 | + > |
| 265 | + > ```sh |
| 266 | + > bq rm -r -f -d $PROJECT:$DATASET |
| 267 | + > ``` |
| 268 | + |
| 269 | +1. Delete the Cloud Storage bucket, this alone does not incur any charges. |
| 270 | + |
| 271 | + > ⚠️ The following command also deletes all objects in the bucket. |
| 272 | + > These objects cannot be recovered. |
| 273 | + > |
| 274 | + > ```sh |
| 275 | + > gsutil rm -r gs://$BUCKET |
| 276 | + > ``` |
| 277 | + |
| 278 | +## Limitations |
| 279 | + |
| 280 | +* You must use a Google-provided base image to package your containers using Docker. |
| 281 | +* You cannot update streaming jobs using Flex Template. |
| 282 | +* You cannot use FlexRS for Flex Template jobs. |
