Scott Wegner reassigned BEAM-3746:
----------------------------------
Assignee: Scott Wegner (was: Kenneth Knowles)

> Key: BEAM-3746
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-3746
> Project: Beam
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: sdk-java-core
> Reporter: Kenneth Knowles
> Assignee: Scott Wegner
> Priority: Major
> Labels: beginner, newbie, starter
> Time Spent: 1h 40m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h

> "Note: if the input collection uses a windowing strategy other than
> GlobalWindows, use Combine.globally(Count.<T>combineFn()).withoutDefaults()
> instead."
> But the actual crash a user gets is:
> "java.lang.IllegalStateException: Default values are not supported in
> Combine.globally() if the output PCollection is not windowed by
> GlobalWindows. Instead, use Combine.globally().withoutDefaults() to output an
> empty PCollection if the input PCollection is empty, or
> Combine.globally().asSingletonView() to get the default output of the
> CombineFn if the input PCollection is empty."
> There is a method that exists solely to make this actually useful, so we
> should use it!
