Frances Perry created BEAM-728:
----------------------------------
Summary: Javadoc should clearly separate facts from runner
requirements
Key: BEAM-728
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-728
Project: Beam
Issue Type: Bug
Components: sdk-java-core
Reporter: Frances Perry
Assignee: Davor Bonaci
The javadoc for View.asMap() says the map needs to fit in memory. That's not
true in all runners. (For example, Dataflow has distributed map support.)
https://github.com/apache/incubator-beam/blob/master/sdks/java/core/src/main/java/org/apache/beam/sdk/transforms/View.java
This is likely just one specific case of a more general issue -- different
runners will have common constraints on the scalability of portions of the
model. Currently these are documented in the capability matrix on the website,
but for usability we should consider surfacing these constraints on
particularly relevant methods. But keeping things in sync in multiple locations
is hard...
