             Summary: Utilities for "batching" elements in a DoFn
                 Key: BEAM-135
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-135
             Project: Beam
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: sdk-java-core
            Reporter: Ben Chambers


We regularly receive questions about how to write a {{DoFn}} that operates on 
batches of elements. Example answers include:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/35065109/can-datastore-input-in-google-dataflow-pipeline-be-processed-in-a-batch-of-n-ent/35068341#35068341

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30177812/partition-data-coming-from-csv-so-i-can-process-larger-patches-rather-then-indiv/30178170#30178170

Possible APIs could be to wrap a {{DoFn}} and include a batch size, or to 
create a utility like {{Filter}}, {{Partition}}, etc. that takes a 
{{SerializableFunction}} or a {{SimpleFunction}}.
