[GitHub] [beam] tvalentyn opened a new issue, #25769: [Feature Request]: Document that file-based sinks return a PCollection of output filenames

["tvalentyn (via GitHub)" <gi...@apache.org>]

tvalentyn opened a new issue, #25769:
URL: https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/25769

   ### What would you like to happen?
   
   It appears that the filebased sinks, such as `WriteToText` output a PCollection that is a list of files: https://github.com/apache/beam/blob/36486447e4d07af5076830ca1e331a6b61f14986/sdks/python/apache_beam/io/filebasedsink.py#L355 
   
   This is not clear from the documentation, for example, the docstring on WriteToText doesn't clarify the nature of output PCollection in https://beam.apache.org/releases/pydoc/2.45.0/apache_beam.io.textio.html#apache_beam.io.textio.WriteToText .
