> DoFn's that use state and timers are implicitly per-key. Setup/Teardown methods are usually used to establish expensive resources - long-standing connections and such.
> For per-key DoFn's, we'd often want to use these per-key, so it'd be good to have ability in the model to ask that there be 1 instance of the DoFn per key, reused between e.g. different timer or trigger firings for this key, but not used for other keys.
> E.g. this would be particularly useful for Splittable DoFn - for its ability to reuse expensive resources between checkpoints.
