The source for my windowed groupByKey experiment is here: https://github.com/tweise/incubator-beam/blob/master/runners/apex/src/main/java/org/apache/beam/runners/apex/translators/functions/ApexGroupByKeyOperator.java
The result is Iterable<V>. In cases such as counting, what is the recommended way to perform the incremental aggregation, without building an intermediate collection?
