Fixes #17990

  • Adds header removal for TextIO.Read / TextIO.ReadAll (with tests)

Related to ##28502 which may not work if number of lines is large.
Related to ##28728 which is not scalable if files are large.

Hi @stankiewicz, thanks so much for contributing to Beam!

Per our discussion, I would recommend the following additional changes.

  1. Overloading the public functions to avoid breaking changes to the existed apis. (I see you have already submitted a new commit for that. Thanks for doing it!)
  2. Your current code works great when the number of header lines to skip is 1. Would you please also add the logic for the case when we need to skip multiple header lines? Our Python SDK has a similar code path that you may find it useful.
    skip_header_lines=0,

    Notice that in this scenario, each reader will have to skip the header lines and make sure their start position is larger than the last position of the header. This may hurt the performance. Therefore, we will keep all 3 code paths (number of header lines to skip = 0/None, 1, >1) and choose the most efficient one based on user input.
  3. Last but not least, I suggest using the same parameter name as our Python API, i.e.skipHeaderLines.

Again, great work!

Regards,

Shunping

Could you also add a test to cover the skipping of multiple header lines?

ok

((SeekableByteChannel) channel).position(requiredPosition);
startOfNextRecord = requiredPosition;
skipHeader(skipHeaderLines, false);
if (requiredPosition > startOfNextRecord) {

I am wondering what will happen if multiple readers having requiredPosition <= startOfNextRecord here.
In this case, more than one readers are assigned to a start position that falls in the header lines (assuming there are multiple long header lines). Not sure if the current code is handling this.

nvm. In this case, among those readers, only one will have an end position outside of the header lines, and will continue to read. So this should not be an issue then.

Thanks for resolving this long standing feature request!

Please resolve the merge conflict then we can get this in

(not for this PR) Also this remind me that we should better check the correctness of our wordcount precommit test, not only run them
