Review comment:
Didn't we decide that there is no pause/restart?
Stopped really sounds like the job was running at one time, until someone
decided to stop it. Perhaps this would be worth renaming to UNSTARTED?

> The Beam job state transitions are ill-defined, which is big problem for
> anything that relies on the values coming from JobAPI.GetStateStream.
> I was hoping to find something like a state transition diagram in the docs so
> that I could determine the start state, the terminal states, and the valid
> transitions, but I could not find this. The code reveals that the SDKs differ
> on the fundamentals:
> Java InMemoryJobService:
> * start state: *STOPPED*
> * run - about to submit to executor: STARTING
> * run - actually running on executor: RUNNING
> * terminal states: DONE, FAILED, CANCELLED, DRAINED
> Python AbstractJobServiceServicer / LocalJobServicer:
> * start state: STARTING
> * terminal states: DONE, FAILED, CANCELLED, *STOPPED*
> I think it would be good to make python work like Java, so that there is a
> difference in state between a job that has been prepared and one that has
> additionally been run.
> It's hard to tell how far this problem has spread within the various runners.
> I think a simple thing that can be done to help standardize behavior is to
> implement the terminal states as an enum in the beam_job_api.proto, or create
> a utility function in each language for checking if a state is terminal, so
> that it's not left up to each runner to reimplement this logic.
