[jira] [Created] (BEAM-191) Remove WindowedValue.valueInEmptyWindows

Kenneth Knowles created BEAM-191:
------------------------------------

             Summary: Remove WindowedValue.valueInEmptyWindows
                 Key: BEAM-191
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-191
             Project: Beam
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: sdk-java-core
            Reporter: Kenneth Knowles
            Priority: Minor


Even though it is acceptable to create a WindowedValue carrying no windows when it is a fully reified WindowedValue<T>, it doesn't really make sense: When it becomes an element in a PCollection that a value must exist within some window.

This has led to some confusion so we should remove the API. It seems there are just 11 files that reference WindowedValue.valueInEmptyWindows [1] that mostly look like they'd be fine with the global window.
