---------------------------------
Summary: Add a utility to instantiate a partially unknown coder
Key: BEAM-3780
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-3780
Project: Beam
Issue Type: Bug
Components: runner-core
Reporter: Thomas Groh
Assignee: Thomas Groh
Coders must be understood by the SDK harness that is encoding or decoding the
associated elements. However, the pipeline runner is capable of constructing
partial coders, where an unknown coder is replaced with a ByteArrayCoder. It
then can decompose the portions of elements it is aware of, without having to
understand the custom element encodings.
This should go in CoderTranslation, as an alternative to the full-fidelity
rehydration of a coder.
