Robert Bradshaw commented on BEAM-2166: --------------------------------------- Not done. I have a follow-up CL that can only go in once dependencies (such as workers) migrate to this change. > Remove Coder.Context from the public API > ---------------------------------------- > > Key: BEAM-2166 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-2166 > Project: Beam > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: sdk-java-core, sdk-py > Affects Versions: First stable release > Reporter: Robert Bradshaw > Assignee: Robert Bradshaw > Fix For: First stable release > > > Justification: > * Contexts add confusion and complexity to the public API (e.g. > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-1448) > * Leaf (user-written) coders are nearly always nested. > * Coders are being removed from sources, which was the initial need for > context. > * It is unclear how much value, if any, this provides for internal > performance. > * There may be performance (as well as simplification) gains in removing this > for the Fn API. > Fully removing this distinction from the internals can be defered until the > last bullet points are more completely investigated. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
