`beam.CombineValues` on DataFlow runner causes ambiguous failure with python SDK

Details

    • Bug
    • Status: Open
    • P2
    • Resolution: Unresolved
    • 2.35.0
    • None
    • Can provide Dockerfile, pyproject.toml, poetry.lock files on request.
      Using Apache Beam 2.35.0 with GCP extras, on Python 3.8.10.

    Description

       

      The following beam pipeline works correctly using `DirectRunner` but fails with a very vague error when using `DataflowRunner`.

      (    
      pipeline    
      | beam.io.ReadFromPubSub(input_topic, with_attributes=True)    
      | beam.Map(pubsub_message_to_row)    
      | beam.WindowInto(beam.transforms.window.FixedWindows(5))    
      | beam.GroupBy(<beam.Row col name>)    
      | beam.CombineValues(<instance of beam.CombineFn subclass>)    
      | beam.Values()  
      | beam.io.gcp.bigquery.WriteToBigQuery( . . . )
      )

      With the `CombineValues` step removed this pipeline successfully starts in dataflow.

       

      I thought this was an issue with Dataflow on the server side since the Dataflow API (v1b3.projects.locations.jobs.messages) is just returning the textPayload: "Error processing pipeline". But then I found the issue BEAM-12636 where a go SDK user has the same error message but seemingly as a result of bugs in the go SDK?
