I want to schedule a google dataflow job to run every one hour
I check this url https://cloud.google.com/blog/big-data/2016/04/scheduling-dataflow-pipelines-using-app-engine-cron-service-or-cloud-functions
but I got many errors.
How can I achieve this?
From my perspective, using app engine is trying to repurpose a good tool for something different.
We opted to run our own CRON instance.
Please check doing such case using google dataflow windowing with unbounded source

You can Use a Cloud scheduler that runs every 1 hour and calls a cloud function,
The Cloud function will use the Dataflow client API library to submit a Dataflow job.

In my current architecture, multiple dataflow jobs are triggered at various stages, as part of ABC framework, I need to capture the job id of those jobs as audit metrics inside the dataflow pipeline and update it in BigQuery.
How do I get the run id of dataflow job from the pipeline using JAVA?
Is there any existing method that I can use for that or do I need to use google cloud's client library inside the pipeline for that?
If you are submitting to dataflow, I believe this might work:
DataflowPipelineJob result = (DataflowPipelineJob)pipeline.run()
result.getJobId()
But you cannot access that within the pipeline itself afaik (DoFns etc).
The best way to ensure you know your job id/name, is to set it yourself. You can do this by setting --jobName and this is accessible via options.getJobName(), dataflow will use this. Note it must be unique.
actually the following steps to my data:
new objects in GCS bucket trigger a Google Cloud function that create a BigQuery Job to load this data to BigQuery.
I need low cost solution to know when this Big Query Job is finished and trigger a Dataflow Pipeline only after the job is completed.
Obs:
I know about BigQuery alpha trigger for Google Cloud Function but i
dont know if is a good idea,from what I saw this trigger uses the job
id, which from what I saw can not be fixed and whenever running a job
apparently would have to deploy the function again. And of course
it's an alpha solution.
I read about a Stackdriver Logging->Pub/Sub -> Google cloud function -> Dataflow solution, but i didn't find any log that
indicates that the job finished.
My files are large so isn't a good idea to use a Google Cloud Function to wait until the job finish.
Despite your mention about Stackdriver logging, you can use it with this filter
resource.type="bigquery_resource"
protoPayload.serviceData.jobCompletedEvent.job.jobStatus.state="DONE"
severity="INFO"
You can add dataset filter in addition if needed.
Then create a sink into Function on this advanced filter and run your dataflow job.
If this doesn't match your expectation, can you detail why?
You can look at Cloud Composer which is managed Apache Airflow for orchestrating jobs in a sequential fashion. Composer creates a DAG and executes each node of the DAG and also checks for dependencies to ensure that things either run in parallel or sequentially based on the conditions that you have defined.
You can take a look at the example mentioned here - https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/professional-services/tree/master/examples/cloud-composer-examples/composer_dataflow_examples
Is there way to trigger dataprep flow on GCS (Google Cloud Storage) file upload? Or, at least, is it possible to make dataprep run each day and take the newest file from certain directory in GCS?
It should be possible, because otherwise what is the point in scheduling? Running the same job over the same data source with the same output?
It seems this product is very immature at the moment, so no API endpoint exists to run a job in this service. It is only possible to run a job in the UI.
In general, this is a pattern that is typically used for running jobs on a schedule. Maybe at some point the service will allow you to publish into the "queue" that Run Job already uses.
I am new to GAE and I am trying to quickly find a way to retrieve logs in DataStore, clean them to my specs, and then save them to a table to be called on later for a reports view in my app. I was thinking of using Google Data Flow and creating batch jobs (app is python/Django) but the documentation does not seem to fit my use case so maybe data flow is not the answer. I could create a python script with BigQuery and schedule through CRON but then I would have to contend with errors and it would seem that there is a faster way to solve this problem.
Any help/thoughts/suggestions is always greatly appreciated.
You can use Dataflow/Beam Python SDK to develop a pipeline that read entities from Datastore [1], transform data, and write a table to BigQuery [2]. To schedule this job to run regularly you'll have to use a third party mechanism such as a cron job. Note that Dataflow performs automatic scaling and perform retries to handle errors so you are not expected to manually address these complexities.

To anyone on the Dataprep beta, is it possible to schedule jobs being run? If so, is it the cron service via the app engine? I can't quite follow the cron for app engine instructions but want to make sure it's not a dead end before I try
Thanks
It's in there now, with the possibility to add multiple schedules (ie daily, weekly, etc).
