Review comment:
Yes, good call. Do you think it would be better to cache all intermediate
RDDs (including those for other transforms such as GBK, flatten, etc.), like
the legacy Spark runner does, or cache just those outputted by the exec stage
function?

> I've been trying to run the TFX Chicago taxi example [1] on the Spark
> portable runner. TFDV works fine, but the preprocess step
> (preprocess_flink.sh [2]) fails with the following error:
> RuntimeError: AlreadyExistsError: file already exists [while running
> 'WriteTransformFn/WriteTransformFn']
> Assets are being written multiple times to different temp directories, which
> is okay, but the error occurs when they are copied to the same permanent
> output directory. Specifically, the copy tree operation in transform_fn_io.py
> [3] is run twice with the same output directory. The error doesn't occur when
> that code is modified to allow overwriting existing files, but that's only a
> shallow fix. While the TF transform should probably be made idempotent, this
> is also an issue with the Spark runner, which shouldn't be repeating work
> like this regularly (in the absence of a failure condition).
