Review comment:
       In Dataflow, the load balancing is done inside Windmill during the 
shuffle before the `GroupIntoBatchesDoFn`. Basically Windmill can re-distribute 
the input element to different workers and assign them different shard ids 
accordingly.
   
   Different runner may choose different strategies by overriding the default 
implementation here. We will add the transform to the runner api (in follow-up 
PRs) so runners are able to recognize the transform and do something special if 
they want.

> Improve the existing Beam transform, GroupIntoBatches, to allow runners to 
> choose different sharding strategies depending on how the data needs to be 
> grouped. The goal is to help with the situation where the elements to process 
> need to be co-located to reduce the overhead that would otherwise be incurred 
> per element, while not losing the ability to scale the parallelism. The 
> essential idea is to build a stateful DoFn with shardable states.
