[GitHub] [beam] damccorm opened a new issue, #19815: Add support for remaining data types in python RowCoder

[GitBox <gi...@apache.org>]

damccorm opened a new issue, #19815:
URL: https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/19815

   In the initial [python RowCoder implementation](https://github.com/apache/beam/pull/9188) we only added support for the data types that already had coders in the Python SDK. We should add support for the remaining data types that are not currently supported:
   
   * INT8 (ByteCoder in Java)
   * INT16 (BigEndianShortCoder in Java)
   * FLOAT (FloatCoder in Java) (Note: doubles are supported, this is specifically for single-precision)
   * \--BOOLEAN (standard beam:coder:bool:v1, BooleanCoder in Java)\--
   * \--BYTES (standard beam:coder:bytes:v1, ByteArrayCoder in Java)\--
   * \--Map (MapCoder in Java)\--
   
   We might consider making those coders standard so they can be tested independently from RowCoder in standard_coders.yaml. Or, if we don't do that we should probably add a more robust testing framework for RowCoder itself, because it will be challenging to test all of these types as part of the RowCoder tests in standard_coders.yaml.
