Jingsong Lee commented on BEAM-25:
----------------------------------
Are there plans to support StatefulCombineFn?
eg: select itemId, count(distinct userId) from accessTable group by
ceil(timestamp to day), itemId.
Use SetState to distinct users in CombineFn instead of use Distinct
transform(bring another Combine.perKey, not efficient).
> Add user-ready API for interacting with state

> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: sdk-java-core
> Reporter: Kenneth Knowles
> Assignee: Kenneth Knowles
> Labels: State

> Our current state API is targeted at runner implementers, not pipeline
> authors. As such it has many capabilities that are not necessary nor
> desirable for simple use cases of stateful ParDo (such as dynamic state tag
> creation). Implement a simple state intended for user access.
