> The SparkRunner keeps track of "leaf" transforms in the job graph and ensures that they have been executed when the pipeline is run.
> However, when a PCollection is used as a sideInput, it is evaluated *once* to get the materialized values but is still considered a leaf node.  It is evaluated a second time at the end of the Spark job, which is unnecessary (and can cause unexpected behaviour).
> One of the symptoms of this bug is that `Sink`s will create spurious writers that execute, but are never finalized.  Specifically the HDFSFileSink will _always_ die with a `Writer results and output files do not match` error.
