[jira] [Created] (BEAM-728) Javadoc should clearly separate facts
from runner requirements
Frances Perry created BEAM-728:
----------------------------------
Summary: Javadoc should clearly separate facts from runner requirements
Key: BEAM-728
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-728
Project: Beam
Issue Type: Bug
Components: sdk-java-core
Reporter: Frances Perry
Assignee: Davor Bonaci
The javadoc for View.asMap() says the map needs to fit in memory. That's not true in all runners. (For example, Dataflow has distributed map support.)

This is likely just one specific case of a more general issue -- different runners will have common constraints on the scalability of portions of the model. Currently these are documented in the capability matrix on the website, but for usability we should consider surfacing these constraints on particularly relevant methods. But keeping things in sync in multiple locations is hard...
