Micah Whitacre updated CRUNCH-405:
----------------------------------

    Attachment: CRUNCH-405_v1.patch

So here is the first pass at this.  The issue I ran into is that when we "plan" 
we manipulate the PCollectionImpl instance when it is materialized and set the 
"materializedAt" value.  This then causes an NPE when we replan because the 
"outputTargetsToMaterialize" is not modified to remove the value.  This affects 
the next attempt to plan.  It is slightly odd to be modifying the 
PCollectionImpls but understandable since it handles multiple calls to 
pipeline.run() for a single pipeline.

Remaining work:
* Add a cleanup to the MRExecutor instead of pipeline to make the cleanup more 
natural.
* Determine correct way to handle/manipulate the PCollectionImpls (e.g. add 
clone vs the current clearing hack)

> Explore adding support for idempotent MRPipeline.plan()

> Talking through a use case with a consumer, they were interested in having 
> the ability to run the MRPipeline.plan() method one to many times prior to 
> ever calling the Pipeline.run/done methods.  The reason for this was they 
> were looking at pulling information off the MRExecutor to tweak settings 
> inside of their DoFns.
> Currently the MRPipeline implementation however does not have an idempotent 
> plan() method as it alters the state of internal values therefore affecting 
> the full run once done() is called.  
> It would be nice if we added an idempotent plan() method that could be gather 
> this information or perhaps a reset option.
