Subject: Re: Any easy way to extract values from PCollection?
+1 to Brian's answer.
In Java, you can
singleValuedPcollection .apply("Write single value",
TextIO.write().to(options.getSomeGcsPath())
as the last step of your pipeline.
Then in your program, after executing the pipeline (wait until finish), use the
Cloud Storage Java client
library<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcloud.google.com%2Fstorage%2Fdocs%2Freference%2Flibraries%23client-libraries-install-java&data=04%7C01%7Ctaol%40zillow.com%7C4e6575041bff4296e29b08d905b73d3b%7C033464830d1840e7a5883784ac50e16f%7C0%7C0%7C637547106828526784%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=xX2JWh4DYPeJNt9H%2FUS1AMvsvFVZ1aXdcb0pMaybAik%3D&reserved=0>
to read the file and extract the value.

I don't think there's an easy answer to this question, in general all you can
do with a PCollection is indicate you'd like to write it out to an IO. There
has been some work in the Python SDK on "Interactive Beam" which is designed
for using the Python SDK interactively in a notebook environment. It will let
you collect() a PCollection - meaning it runs the pipeline and materializes the
result. There's no such capability for the other SDKs though.
