> [https://github.com/apache/beam/pull/3565] introduces the Watch transform
> [http://s.apache.org/beam-watch-transform].
> The implementation leaves several scalability-related TODOs:
> 1) The state stores hashes and timestamps of outputs that have already been
> output and should be omitted from future polls. We could garbage-collect this
> state, e.g. dropping elements from "completed" and from addNewAsPending() if
> their timestamp is more than X behind the watermark.
> 2) When a poll returns a huge number of elements, we don't necessarily have
> to add all of them into state.pending - instead we could add only N oldest
> elements and ignore others, relying on future poll rounds to provide them, in
> order to avoid blowing up the state. Combined with garbage collection of
> GrowthState.completed, this would make the transform scalable to very large
> poll results.
