> I have a CombineFn for which add_input has very large overhead. I would like to batch the incoming elements into a large batch before each call to add_input to reduce this overhead. In other words, I would like to do something like:
> {{elements | GroupByKey() | BatchElements() | CombineValues(MyCombineFn())}}
> Unfortunately, BatchElements is not key-aware, and can't be used after a GroupByKey to batch elements per key. I'm working around this by doing the batching within CombineValues, which makes the CombineFn rather messy. It would be nice if there were a key-aware BatchElements transform which could be used in this context.
