You two did so much verification I had a hard time finding something where my help was meaningful! :-)
I did run the Nexmark suite on the DirectRunner against 2.7.0 and 2.8.0 following https://beam.apache.org/documentation/sdks/java/nexmark/#running-smoke-suite-on-the-directrunner-local . It is admittedly a very silly test - the instructions leave immutability enforcement on, etc. But it does appear that there is a 30% degradation in query 8 and 15% in query 9. These are the pure Java tests, not the SQL variants. The rest of the queries are close enough that differences are not meaningful. I would ask a little more time to see what is going on here - is it a real performance issue or an artifact of how the tests are invoked, or ...?
