Hello, I am planning to implement the state sampler in Java, by reusing the state sampler from the Dataflow Runner Harness. It will require a refactoring to do this:
1. Remove Dataflow specific code from the base classes and place it into the relevant subclasses only. 2. Move the necessary classes into a “common” gradle project which can be used by both the Beam Java SDK and Dataflow Java Runner Harness. 3. Use the new moved files in the Java SDK. Here is my full plan in a doc <http://Refactoring Java State Sampler Plan> I have filled BEAM-6431 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-6431?filter=-2> for this work as well. I just wanted to run this idea by the community and see incase there were any issues with this refactoring plan. Thanks for your feedback Alex
