Kenneth Knowles updated BEAM-247:
-
Description:
{code:java}
public abstract static class CombineFn
extends AbstractGlobalCombineFn { /* ... */ }
abstract static class AbstractGlobalCombineFn
implements GlobalCombineFn, Serializable { /* ... */
}
{code}
Since {{AbstractGlobalCombineFn}} is package protected (and therefore not
visible outside of the {{transform}} package, it is not possible to cast any
class that extends {{CombineFn}} to a {{GlobalCombineFn}} outside of this
package.
This prevents applying existing {{CombineFns}} directly (such as
{{Combine.perKey(new Sum.SumIntegersFn())}}, as used in our documentation) and
also means that a user cannot define their own {{CombineFn}} unless they put
them in the {{transform}} package.

This prevents applying existing {{CombineFn}}s directly (such as

also means that a user cannot define their own {{CombineFn}} unless they put
