Google Dataflow streaming inserts to BigQuery hitting rate limits

I'm trying to use Dataflow streaming processing to insert records into BigQuery using Python. Changed files in a storage bucket are read from PubSub then the files are read, transformed and inserted into BigQuery.

However when the pipeline gets to processing around 100 to 200 elements/sec I get errors like the below that I'm exceeding a rate limit and linking to this page. Sometimes the errors mention the tabledata.list quota, which is 500/sec.

I don't understand why I'm seeing messages about these quotas at all though, as the streaming inserts quota for BigQuery is 1,000,000/sec.

The code I'm using is below:

    files = (
        p
        | "read PubSub"
        >> beam.io.ReadFromPubSub(
            topic=known_args.input_topic, with_attributes=True, id_label=id_label
        )
        | "decode message" >> beam.Map(lambda pubsub_msg: json.loads(pubsub_msg.data))
        | "filter buckets with unknown encodings"
        >> beam.Filter(no_encoding_bucket_filter, encodings)
        | "get file from bucket" >> beam.ParDo(GetFileFromBucket())
    )

    policies = (
        files
        | f"filter for policies"
        >> beam.Filter(lambda msg: 'policies' in msg["bucket"])
        | f"encode policies"
        >> beam.Map(apply_encoding, encodings['policies'], 'policies')
        | f"filter out policies that failed to encode"
        >> beam.Filter(lambda item: True if item is not None else False)
        | f"insert policies to BigQuery"
        >> beam.io.WriteToBigQuery(
            project=project_id,
            table="service_policy_policies",
            dataset="mongo_landing_zone",
            insert_retry_strategy="RETRY_ON_TRANSIENT_ERROR",
        )
    )

beam.io.WriteToBigQuery() does work with streaming data, but from the errors I suspect it's initialising or getting the BigQuery table as an object for every element thats processed, rather than just inserting a row. Am I using it in some incorrect way?




Update 2020-03-11

I managed to improve, but not resolve the situation. I switched from using beam.io.WriteToBigQuery to writing a custom class called WriteToBigQueryCustom to do the same thing. I still get errors but only at 500/sec throughput or higher now.

Updated code:

class WriteToBigQueryCustom(beam.DoFn):
    """
    Stream insert records into a BigQuery table. Intended to work the same way you'd
    expect beam.io.WriteToBigQuery to work for streaming.

    Even though beam.io.WriteToBigQuery supports streaming, it seemed to be
    initialising the BigQuery connection for every element processed. Was
    getting throttled and causing errors about hitting BQ api limits at throughput of
    100 elements/sec when the streaming inserts limit is 1,000,000/sec.
    """

    def __init__(self, project_id, dataset, table_name):
        self.project_id = project_id
        self.dataset = dataset
        self.table_name = table_name
        self.table_id = f"{project_id}.{dataset}.{table_name}"

    def start_bundle(self):
        self.bq_client = bigquery.Client()
        self.table = self.bq_client.get_table(self.table_id)

    def process(self, dict_to_insert):
        """Insert a dict to the classes BigQuery table"""
        errors = self.bq_client.insert_rows(self.table, [dict_to_insert])
        if errors:
            logging.error(
                f"Hit error uploading row to bigquery table {self.table_id}: "
                f"{errors}. Was trying to insert dict: {dict_to_insert}"
            )

I ran into the same troubles you did, while running a similar pipeline. It seems there is some sort of bug in the Python/Beam SDK.

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-6831

Adding create_disposition=beam.io.BigQueryDisposition.CREATE_NEVER helped in my case.
