Excellent Example of Inner Class

Many a times, I have asked myself, what is the requirement of Inner Classes, and on top of that Anonymous Inner Classes. Here is one good example. The following is an excerpt from "Android SDK's" documentation:

Listeners can be one of the more confusing aspects of UI implementation, but what we are trying to achieve in this case is simple. We simply want an onClick() method to be called when the user presses the confirm button, and we can use that to do some work and return the values of the edited note to the Intent caller. We do this using something called an anonymous inner class. This is a bit confusing to look at unless you have seen them before, but all you really need to take away from this is that you can refer to this code in the future to see how to create a listener and attach it to a button. (Listeners are a common idiom in Java development, particularly for user interfaces.)

confirmButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View view) {
}
});

How to upload to Google Cloud Storage buckets using CURL

Signed URLs are pretty nifty feature given by Google Cloud Platform to let anyone access your cloud storage (bucket or any file in the bucket) without need to sign in. Official documentation gives step by step details as to how to read/write to the bucket using gsutil or through a program. This article will tell you how to upload a file to the bucket using curl so that any client which doesn't have cloud SDK installed can do this using a simple script. This command creates a signed PUT URL for your bucket. gsutil signurl -c 'text/plain' -m PUT serviceAccount.json gs://test_bucket_location Here is my URL: https://storage.googleapis.com/test_sl?GoogleAccessId=my-project-id@appspot.gserviceaccount.com&Expires=1490266627&Signature=UfKBNHWtjLKSBEcUQUKDeQtSQV6YCleE9hGG%2BCxVEjDOmkDxwkC%2BPtEg63pjDBHyKhVOnhspP1%2FAVSr%2B%2Fty8Ps7MSQ0lM2YHkbPeqjTiUcAfsbdcuXUMbe3p8FysRUFMe2dSikehBJWtbYtjb%2BNCw3L09c7fLFyAoJafIcnoIz7iJGP%2Br6gAUkSnZXgbVjr6wjN%2FIaudXIqA...

Running Apache Beam pipeline using Spark Runner on a local standalone Spark Cluster

The best thing about Apache Beam ( B atch + Str eam ) is that multiple runners can be plugged in and same pipeline can be run using Spark, Flink or Google Cloud Dataflow. If you are a beginner like me and want to run a simple pipeline using Spark Runner then whole setup may be tad daunting. Start with Beam's WordCount examples  which help you quickstart with running pipelines using different types of runners. There are code snippets for running the same pipeline using different types of runners but here the code is running on your local system using Spark libraries which is good for testing and debugging pipeline. If you want to run the pipeline on a Spark cluster you need to do a little more work! Let's start by setting up a simple standalone single-node cluster on our local machine. Extending the cluster is as easy as running a command on another machine, which you want to add to cluster. Start with the obvious: install spark on your machine! (Remember to have Java a...

Example of Using SimpleHttpOperator to make POST call

Airflow has SimpleHttpOperator which can be used to invoke REST APIs. However using this operator is not exactly straightforward. Airflow needs to be told about the connection parameters and all the other information that is needed to connect to external system. For this we need to create Connections. Open 'Connections' page through Admin->Connections link.  Expand the dropdown to see the various types of connection options available. For a REST call, create an HTTP connection. Give the host URL and any other details if required. Now when we write our task using SimpleHttpOperator we will need to refer to the connection that was just created. The task below is making a post call to  https://reqres.in/api/users  API and passing it some data in JSON format. myHttpTask = SimpleHttpOperator(  task_id='get_op',  method='POST',  http_conn_id='dcro',  data=json.dumps({    "name":"Morpheus",    " job ":" L...
