Review comment:
I believe this could be a regression based upon the above comment a few
lines higher then where the code was changed:
```
// Pass results via a side input rather than reshuffle, because we need to
get an empty
// iterable to finalize if there are no results.
```
The combine globally in the global window will produce a default output in
the global window but will throw an exception if used against non-global window
PCollections.
Performance wise this is likely an improvement overall since runners
typically do a better job with GBK then with side inputs. So we could keep this
change as an optimization in the global window case and keep the existing
behavior for non global windows.
