Review Comment:
   This sounds a bit not counter-intuitive, but TimestampedValue is not 
equivalent to KV<VarInt64, LP<value>>. Particularly, TimestampedValueCoder 
encodes/and decodes the value first and then timestamp.

   But KV<VarInt64, LP<value>> does that in an opposite order. In order to 
maintain the compatibility of these two coders and makes the code easier, how 
about we use coder of KV<LP<value>, VarInt64>> instead?
