             Summary: Enable caching of side-input dependent computations
                 Key: BEAM-1003
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-1003
             Project: Beam
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: beam-model
            Reporter: Robert Bradshaw
            Assignee: Frances Perry


Sometimes the kind of computations one wants to perform in startBundle depend 
on side inputs (and, implicitly, the window). For example, one might want to 
initialize a (non-serializable) stateful object. In particular, this leads to 
users incorrectly (in the case of triggered or non-globally-windowed side 
inputs) memoizing this computation in the first processElement call. 

One option would be to fold this into a customizable ViewFn.
