             Summary: Introduce Create.ofProvider(ValueProvider)
                 Key: BEAM-2640
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-2640
             Project: Beam
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: sdk-java-core
            Reporter: Eugene Kirpichov
            Assignee: Eugene Kirpichov


When you have a ValueProvider<T> that may or may not be accessible at 
construction time, a common task is to wrap it into a single-element 
PCollection<T>. This is especially common when migrating an IO connector that 
used something like Create.of(query) followed by a ParDo, to having query be a 
ValueProvider.

Currently this is done in an icky way (e.g. 
https://github.com/apache/beam/blob/master/sdks/java/io/google-cloud-platform/src/main/java/org/apache/beam/sdk/io/gcp/datastore/DatastoreV1.java#L615)

We should have a convenience helper for that.
