[jira] [Resolved] (BEAM-1198) ViewFn: explicitly decouple runner materialization of side inputs from SDK-specific mapping

Kenneth Knowles resolved BEAM-1198.
-----------------------------------
       Resolution: Fixed
    Fix Version/s: First stable release
                   Not applicable

In the guts of things, this is now somewhat implemented, and the Runner / Fn API makes it explicit and mandatory. No longer need to track IMO.

> For side inputs, the field {{PCollectionView.fromIterableInternal}} implies an "iterable" materialization of the contents of a PCollection, which is adapted to the desired user-facing type within a UDF (today the PCollectionView "is" the UDF)
> In practice, runners get adequate performance by special casing just a couple of types of PCollectionView in a rather cumbersome manner.
> The design to improve this is https://s.apache.org/beam-side-inputs-1-pager and this makes the de facto standard approach the actual model.
