Hi Rahul,
what version of Beam are you using? There was a bug [1], which was fixed
in 2.14.0. This bug could cause what you observe.

Hi Robert,
When PCollection is created using
"Create.of(listOfRow)*.withCoder(RowCoder.of(schema))*", I am getting
"Inconsistent" results.
By "Inconsistent", I mean that the result is "Incorrect"
sometimes(most of the times).
By "Incorrect" result, I mean that the elements are missing. The
elements are not duplicated. The elements are not batched differently.
I have used System.identityHashcode(this) to convert PCollection<Row>
to PCollection<KV<Integer, Row>> to apply Stateful
Pardo(GroupIntoBatches) as per your suggestion in this thread
<https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/ed3344698db1bd107f2c2466f813e045056b62084806445fd54a61fc@%3Cdev.beam.apache.org%3E>
To verify the result, I have used GroupByKey, which should give the
same result as GroupIntoBatches *for my case*.
However, When PCollection is created using "Create.of(listOfRow)", the
results are always correct.
Regards,
Rahul

Could you clarify what you mean by "inconsistent" and "incorrect"? Are
elements missing/duplicated, or just batched differently?
