psobot/scio

A Scala API for Apache Beam and Google Cloud Dataflow.

Scio

Ecclesiastical Latin IPA: /ˈʃi.o/, [ˈʃiː.o], [ˈʃi.i̯o]

Verb: I can, know, understand, have knowledge.

Scio is a Scala API for Apache Beam and Google Cloud Dataflow inspired by Apache Spark and Scalding.

Scio 0.3.0 and future versions depend on Apache Beam (org.apache.beam) while earlier versions depend on Google Cloud Dataflow SDK (com.google.cloud.dataflow). See this page for a list of breaking changes.

Features

• Scala API close to that of Spark and Scalding core APIs
• Unified batch and streaming programming model
• Fully managed service^*
• Integration with Google Cloud products: Cloud Storage, BigQuery, Pub/Sub, Datastore, Bigtable
• HDFS, JDBC, TensorFlow TFRecords, Cassandra, Elasticsearch and Parquet I/O
• Interactive mode with Scio REPL
• Type safe BigQuery
• Integration with Algebird and Breeze
• Pipeline orchestration with Scala Futures
• Distributed cache

Quick Start

Use our giter8 template to quickly setup a project:

sbt new spotify/scio.g8

Compile it:

sbt pack

Run the included word count example:

target/pack/bin/word-count --output=wc

Inspect the results:

cat wc/part-00000-of-00001.txt

Documentation

Getting Started is the best place to start with Scio. If you are new to Apache Beam and distributed data processing, check out the Beam Programming Guide first for a detailed explanation of the Beam programming model and concepts. If you have experience with other Scala data processing libraries, check out this comparison between Scio, Scalding and Spark. Finally check out this document about the relationship between Scio, Beam and Dataflow.

Example Scio pipelines and tests can be found under scio-examples. A lot of them are direct ports from Beam's Java examples. See this page for some of them with side-by-side explanation. Also see Big Data Rosetta Code for common data processing code snippets in Scio, Scalding and Spark.
