调研方向

Start in sdks/python/apache_beam/dataframe/io.py, in ReadViaPandas.expand, where object-dtype columns are cast with astype(pd.StringDtype()). Run the reproducer from the issue to see the nested dict and list values come out as Python repr. Done when nested objects and arrays read from JSON are stored as valid JSON strings, and a regression test in textio_test.JsonTest covers this.

描述

awaiting triage bug io P2 yaml
What happened?

beam.io.ReadFromJson (and therefore Beam YAML ReadFromJson) reads nested JSON objects and arrays as strings holding their Python repr instead of JSON. For the line {"id": 1, "user": {"name": "a"}, "tags": ["x", "y"]} the element is id=1, user="{'name': 'a'}", tags="['x', 'y']". The single-quoted repr is not valid JSON, so downstream steps can't recover the nested values, and the schema reports the field as Optional[str].

Minimal reproducer:

import json, os, tempfile
import apache_beam as beam

with tempfile.TemporaryDirectory() as d:
  path = os.path.join(d, 'nested.jsonl')
  with open(path, 'w') as f:
    f.write('{"id": 1, "user": {"name": "a"}, "tags": ["x", "y"]}\n')
  with beam.Pipeline() as p:
    (p
     | beam.io.ReadFromJson(path)
     | beam.Map(lambda r: print(repr(r.user), json.loads(r.user))))
# prints "{'name': 'a'}" and then fails with json.decoder.JSONDecodeError
Cause

ReadFromJson delegates to apache_beam.dataframe.io.ReadViaPandas('json', ...). With the default objects_as_strings=True, ReadViaPandas.expand (sdks/python/apache_beam/dataframe/io.py) casts every object-dtype column with df[col].astype(pd.StringDtype()). For JSON input, pandas keeps nested objects and arrays as dict / list values in object-dtype columns, so the cast stores str(dict).

Encoding dict / list values with json.dumps before the cast (JSON format only) keeps the column a string but makes it valid JSON. I have a small fix with a regression test in textio_test.JsonTest and can open a PR.
