> Add method for defining composite transforms as lambda expressions
> ------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: BEAM-5413
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-5413
> Project: Beam
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: sdk-java-core

> Priority: Minor

> Defining a composite transform today requires writing a full named subclass
> of PTransform (as [the programming guide
> documents|https://beam.apache.org/documentation/programming-guide/#composite-transforms]
> but there are cases where users may want to define a fairly trivial
> composite transform using a less verbose Java 8 lambda expression.
> Consider an example where the user has defined MyDeserializationTransform
> that attempts to deserialize byte arrays into some object, returning a
> PCollectionTuple with tags for successfully deserialized records (mainTag)
> and for errors (errorTag).
> If we introduce a PTransform::compose method that takes in a
> SerializableFunction, the user can handle errors in a small lambda expression:
>
> {code:java}
> byteArrays
> .apply("attempt to deserialize messages",
> new MyDeserializationTransform())
> .apply("write deserialization errors",
> PTransform.compose((PCollectionTuple input) -> {
> input
> .get(errorTag)
> .apply(new MyErrorOutputTransform());
> return input.get(mainTag);
> })
> .apply("more processing on the deserialized messages",
> new MyOtherTransform())
> {code}
> This style allows a more concise and fluent pipeline definition than is
> currently possible.
