> Garbage collect user state in Flink Runner

> Key: BEAM-1517
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-1517
> Project: Beam

> Affects Versions: 0.6.0

>
> User facing state/timers in Beam are bound to the key/window of the data.
> Right now, the Flink Runner does not clean up user state when the watermark
> passes the GC horizon for the state associated with a given window.
> Neither {{StateInternals}} nor the Flink state API support discarding state
> for a whole namespace (which is the window in this case) so we might have to
> manually set a GC timer for each window/key combination, as is done in the
> {{ReduceFnRunner}}. For this we have to know all states a user can possibly
> use, which we can get from the {{DoFn}} signature.
