Review Comment:

The `initialized` field is marked as `transient`. In Apache Beam, `DoFn`
instances and their member fields are frequently serialized and deserialized
(e.g., when moving between workers or during checkpointing). Marking
`initialized` as `transient` means its state will not be preserved across these
serialization boundaries. Upon deserialization, `initialized` will be `null`,
leading to a `NullPointerException` when `initialized.get()` is called. This
completely breaks the caching mechanism and can cause runtime errors.
```java
private @Nullable String evaluatedPartitioning = null;
private transient @Nullable String evaluatedClustering = null;
private AtomicBoolean initialized = null;
```
