 Review comment:
   You could always apply the trigger if it is guaranteed to produce output by 
checking what the trigger definition is. I don't think you need a flag.
   
   I'm not sure how much of a holistic picture of the whole WriteFiles 
transform was done to see if there is a better way to structure the transforms.

> In TFRecordIO, Reify.viewInGlobalWindow(input.apply(View.asList()), 
> ListCoder.of(resultCoder)) is an inefficient way of reading large set of side 
> input.
> Pipeline can be sped up significantly by combinging the PCollection<ResultT> 
> to a single element PCollection<List<ResultT>>.
> Sample code: 
>  
> https://github.com/apache/beam/blob/master/sdks/java/core/src/main/java/org/apache/beam/sdk/io/WriteFiles.java#L412
>  from
> ```
> return input
>             .getPipeline()
>             .apply(Reify.viewInGlobalWindow(input.apply(View.asList()), 
> ListCoder.of(resultCoder)));
> ```
> to
> ```
> return input.apply("ToList", Combine.globally(new ToListCombineFn<>()));
> ```
> where ToListCombineFn is defined as
> ```
> public static class ToListCombineFn<ResultT> extends CombineFn<ResultT, 
> List<ResultT>, List<ResultT>> {
>     @Override
>     public List<ResultT> createAccumulator() {
