> In https://github.com/apache/incubator-beam/blob/master/sdks/java/core/src/main/java/org/apache/beam/sdk/util/PCollectionViews.java#L267 the defaultValue is set to null to avoid decoding over and over I assume.
> If the defaultValue is accessed before the the SingletonViewFn is serialized, it will exhaust the encoded value (assigned with null) while losing the transient decoded value.
> It'd probably be best to simply check if defaultValue is null before decoding, so that decode will still happen just once, but the encoded data is not lost.
