Method Detail

getPipeline

Pipeline getPipeline()

Returns the owning Pipeline of this PInput.

expand

Collection<? extends PValue> expand()

Expands this PInput into a list of its component output PValues.

• A PValue expands to itself.
• A tuple or list of PValues (such as PCollectionTuple or PCollectionList) expands to its component PValue PValues.

Not intended to be invoked directly by user code.

finishSpecifying

void finishSpecifying()

After building, finalizes this PInput to make it ready for being used as an input to a PTransform.

Automatically invoked whenever apply() is invoked on this PInput, so users do not normally call this explicitly.
