If you do this outside of dataflow, you can use a static to do this on
every worker start. Is that what you're looking for? For example:
final class StateLoader {
private StateLoader() {}
@GuardedBy("this")
private static @Nullable MyState state;
synchronized @NotNull MyState getState() {
if (state == null) {
state = LoadStateFromSQL();
}
return state;
}
}
