generate_statistics_from_csv without blocking code execution?

[santiagotoscanini]

Hi!

Is there a way to don't block the execution when calling the generate_statistics_from_csv?

Maybe return an Operation.

What do you mean by not block the execution? Are you looking for it to "run in the background" or for a way to get the execution deferred?
Note that generate_statistics_from_csv is a convinience method, an alternative is to write the beam pipeline manually if you'd like to tweak the pipeline options. Read the data with tfx_bsl.public.tfxio.CsvTFXIO, then call tfdv.GenerateStatistics followed by tfdv.WriteStatisticsToTFRecord.

Hi!

Like many other Google APIs support, I look for a way to get the execution deferred and fetch the results with an operation name. Is there anything similar to this already implemented?
