URL: https://github.com/apache/beam/pull/36575#issuecomment-3427944580
## Summary of Changes
This pull request adds a new example to the Apache Beam Python SDK,
showcasing an `OrderedBatchElements` PTransform. This transform is designed to
process streaming data by grouping elements into fixed-size, time-ordered
windows. It intelligently handles common challenges in streaming data, such as
out-of-order and late arrivals, by leveraging Beam's stateful processing
capabilities. The implementation also includes logic to ensure continuity in
output by filling empty windows or gaps with the last observed value, which is
crucial for many time-series analysis applications.
### Highlights
* **New PTransform**: Introduced a new `OrderedBatchElements` PTransform for
the Apache Beam Python SDK.
* **Ordered Batching**: This transform batches elements into time-ordered,
fixed-size windows, effectively managing out-of-order and late data using
Beam's stateful processing.
* **Gap Filling**: The PTransform can prepend a window with the last seen
element if the window is empty or has a gap, facilitating subsequent
forward-filling operations.
* **Comprehensive Testing**: Includes a robust set of tests to validate the
transform's behavior under various conditions, including late data and data
gaps.

<summary><b>Changelog</b></summary>
* **sdks/python/apache_beam/examples/cookbook/ordered_batch_elements.py**
* Added `OrderedBatchElementsDoFn` for stateful processing, including
`OrderedListState`, `ReadModifyWriteState`, and `TimerSpec` to manage
buffering, idle counts, last values, and estimated watermarks.
* Implemented `OrderedBatchElements` PTransform to wrap the `DoFn`,
handling keyed/unkeyed input and re-windowing into `FixedWindows`.
*
**sdks/python/apache_beam/examples/cookbook/ordered_batch_elements_test.py**
* Added unit tests for `OrderedBatchElements` covering various
scenarios: default behavior, non-zero offset with default values, keyed input,
ordered data with gaps, and late data handling with and without allowed
lateness.
