What changed

This PR enforces fail-fast validation for PipelineOptions getters annotated
with @Validation.Required.

Details

  • Throw IllegalStateException when a required option is accessed without being set
  • Add helper method to detect @Validation.Required annotation
  • Add test covering required option validation
  • Update existing tests affected by stricter validation

Testing

  • ./gradlew :sdks:java:core:test --tests "*PipelineOptionsTest"

- Add validation in ProxyInvocationHandler.getDefault() to throw IllegalStateException when required options are accessed without being set
- Add isRequired() helper method to check for @Validation.Required annotation
- Add test case for required option validation
- Update PortablePipelineOptionsTest to skip checking required option without value

Summary of Changes

Hello @Simarjeet112, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request enhances the robustness of Apache Beam's PipelineOptions by introducing a fail-fast validation mechanism. It ensures that any PipelineOptions getter method explicitly marked with @Validation.Required will throw an IllegalStateException if its corresponding option has not been provided, thereby preventing pipelines from proceeding with incomplete or critical configurations. This change improves the predictability and reliability of pipeline execution by catching configuration errors early.

Highlights

  • Fail-Fast Validation for PipelineOptions: Introduced fail-fast validation for PipelineOptions methods annotated with @Validation.Required, ensuring that critical options are set before use.
  • IllegalStateException for Unset Required Options: Implemented logic in ProxyInvocationHandler to throw an IllegalStateException if a required, non-primitive option is accessed without being explicitly set.
  • Annotation Detection Helper: Added a new private helper method isRequired to programmatically detect the presence of the @Validation.Required annotation on a method.
  • New Unit Test for Validation: Included a dedicated unit test (testRequiredOptionWithoutDefaultThrows) to verify the correct behavior of the new required option validation mechanism.
  • Test Case Adjustments: Adjusted existing test cases in PipelineOptionsTest and PortablePipelineOptionsTest to align with the new stricter validation rules.

Changelog
  • sdks/java/core/src/main/java/org/apache/beam/sdk/options/ProxyInvocationHandler.java
    • Added logic within the getDefault method to check if a method is marked as @Validation.Required and if its return type is not primitive. If both conditions are true and the option is not set, an IllegalStateException is thrown.
    • Introduced a new private static helper method isRequired(Method method) to determine if a method is annotated with org.apache.beam.sdk.options.Validation$Required.
    • Added a new private static helper method isNullable(Method method) to check for the Nullable annotation.
  • sdks/java/core/src/test/java/org/apache/beam/sdk/options/PipelineOptionsTest.java
    • Added a new test method testRequiredOptionWithoutDefaultThrows to assert that an IllegalStateException is thrown when a required option without a default value is accessed.
    • Defined a new nested interface RequiredStringOption to demonstrate the @Validation.Required annotation.
    • Minor formatting adjustments and a comment update from 'Test interface.' to 'Base test interface.'.
  • sdks/java/core/src/test/java/org/apache/beam/sdk/options/PortablePipelineOptionsTest.java
    • Commented out an assertion for options.getJobEndpoint() in testDefaults() to adapt to potential changes in default behavior or validation introduced by this PR.
