> 1. Serializing DoFns at application time ensures that any modifications of
> fields within the DoFn after application do not accidentally pollute the
> execution. This mirrors the approach taken in Java to provide an
> approximation of lexical-closure (eg., you only need to know the state of the
> DoFn at the time it was applied, not afterwards, to understand its behavior).
> 2. Based on 1, the DIrectRunner should also be deserializing DoFns before
> running them, which should also detect other classes of errors such as using
> the pipeline object (which is not pickleable) within the DoFn
