> Java SDK now has TextIO.read_all() API that allows reading a massive number of files by moving from using the BoundedSource API (which may perform expensive source operations on the control plane) to using ParDo operations.
> https://github.com/apache/beam/blob/master/sdks/java/core/src/main/java/org/apache/beam/sdk/io/TextIO.java#L170
> This API should be added for Python SDK as well.
> This form of reading files does not support dynamic work rebalancing for now. But this should not matter much when reading a massive number of relatively small files. In the future this API can support dynamic work rebalancing through Splittable DoFn.
