[jira] [Commented] (BEAM-6257) Can we deprecate the side input paths through PAssert?

Kenneth Knowles commented on BEAM-6257:
---------------------------------------

[~ibzib] yes, at that level of implementation detail it is true. However, I think the top-level PAssert API does not actually require side inputs. It is just more work to eliminate using them.

> PAssert has two distinct paths - one uses GBK with a single-firing trigger, and one uses side inputs. Side inputs are usually a later addition to a runner, while GBK is one of the first primitives (with a single firing it is even simple). Filing this against myself to figure out why the side input version is not deprecated, and if it can be deprecated.
> Marking this as a "starter" task because finding and eliminating side input version of PAssert should be fairly easy. You might need help but can ask on dev@
