[BEAM-1867] Use step-derived PCollection names in Dataflow Be sure to do all of the following to help us incorporate your contribution quickly and easily: - [ ] Make sure the PR title is formatted like: `[BEAM-<Jira issue #>] Description of pull request` - [ ] Make sure tests pass via `mvn clean verify`. (Even better, enable Travis-CI on your fork and ensure the whole test matrix passes). - [ ] Replace `<Jira issue #>` in the title with the actual Jira issue number, if there is one. - [ ] If this contribution is large, please file an Apache [Individual Contributor License Agreement](https://www.apache.org/licenses/icla.pdf). --- R: @bjchambers This mitigates an issue in Dataflow. I also removed some checked exceptions that are never caught and probably never should be. I have empirically checked that the element counts and byte sizes are restored by this change, and added unit tests to the translator. Integration tests TBD.

Now, runner-independent graphs are constructed with named PCollections and when replacements occur, the names are preserved. This exposed a bug in Dataflow whereby the names of steps and the names of PCollections are tightly coupled. This change uses the mandatory derived names during translation, shielding users from the bug. ---- --- If your project is set up for it, you can reply to this email and have your reply appear on GitHub as well.
