[jira] [Comment Edited] (BEAM-25) Add user-ready API for interacting with state

["Jingsong Lee (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

-----------------------------------------------------------

Are there plans to support StatefulCombineFn?
eg: select itemId, count(distinct userId) from accessTable group by ceil(timestamp to day), itemId.
Use SetState to distinct users in CombineFn instead of use Distinct transform(bring another Combine.perKey, not efficient).

> Our current state API is targeted at runner implementers, not pipeline authors. As such it has many capabilities that are not necessary nor desirable for simple use cases of stateful ParDo (such as dynamic state tag creation). Implement a simple state intended for user access.
