>             Project: Beam
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: runner-core, runner-flink

> {{GroupAlsoByWindowViaWindowSetDoFn}}/{{GroupAlsoByWindowViaWindowSetNewDoFn}}
>  and {{PushbackSideInputDoFnRunner}} don't work well together and we manually 
> need to explode windows in 
> {{FlinkStreamingTransformTranslators.ToKeyedWorkItem}} because of this:
>  - {{GroupAlsoByWindowViaWindowSetDoFn}} is a {{DoFn<KeyedWorkItem<K, 
> InputT>, KV<K, OutputT>>}} so you have to push in {{KeyedWorkItem}}. These 
> themselves contain {{WindowedValue<InputT>}} (or timers).
>  - For executing a {{DoFn}} we use a {{DoFnRunner}}. For our problem the 
> interesting case is using a {{PushbackSideInputDoFnRunner}}. The interesting 
> method is {{processElementInReadyWindows(WindowedValue<InputT> elem)}} where 
> {{InputT}} is the input type of the {{DoFn}} which, for the windowing case, 
> is {{KeyedWorkItem<K, InputT>}} (from above). The actual expanded type 
> signature is thus 
> {{processElementInReadyWindows(WindowedValue<KeyedWorkItem<K, InputT>> 
> elem)}} where the keyed work items again contain {{WindowedValues}} (again, 
> from above).
> I think the {{PushbackSideInputDoFnRunner}} was not initially meant for 
> executing {{GroupAlsoByWindowViaWindowSetDoFns}}.
