Etienne Chauchot commented on BEAM-6740:
----------------------------------------

No, [~iemejia] changed it in this PR: 
https://github.com/apache/beam/pull/7005/files spark translation is no more 
based on class but on urn. Previously in spark the class was added directly in 
spark translators map, and the translation worked fine. 

The problem seems more general than only spark runner because in 
runner-construction, there is only Combine.perKey PayloadTranslator see  
https://github.com/apache/beam/blob/2fbc8c0c2db3a0798e7cca0d30c3a7eec855b375/runners/core-construction-java/src/main/java/org/apache/beam/runners/core/construction/CombineTranslation.java#L57.
  I fear the impact of adding a new CombineTranslation for Combine.globally in 
runner-contruction side. That being said, you're right, only spark has a direct 
translation of combine.Globally, all the others use only Combine.perKey.

I took a look at nexmark query 7 perf (that uses Combine.globally) and the perf 
seems the same in spark before deactivating Combine.globally special 
translation (with Ismael's PR) and after. IMHO, I would recommend to leave the 
Combine.Globally dead code in case we need it in the future (we see its need 
with more in depth performances tests). But What is sure is that for now I will 
deactivate urn lookup in the new POC spark runner for which, not having a 
combine.globally translation will harm performances. 
WDYT ?

> SDK translates Combine.Globally as a composite transform composed of:
>  * Map that assigns Void keys
>  * Combine.PerKey
> on spark: As Combine.Perkey uses a spark GBK inside it, the runner adds its 
> own translation of Combine.Globally to avoid less performant GBK. This 
> translation should be called in place of entering the composite transform 
> translation.A pipeline like this: 
> {code}
> PCollection<Integer> input = pipeline.apply(Create.of(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 
> 9, 10));
> input.apply(
>  Combine.globally(new IntegerCombineFn()));
> {code}
> {code}
>   private static class IntegerCombineFn extends Combine.CombineFn<Integer, 
> Integer, Integer> {
>     @Override
>     public Integer createAccumulator() {
>       return 0;
>     }
>     @Override

>       return accumulator + input;

>     @Override

>       Integer result = 0;
>       for (Integer value : accumulators) {
>         result += value;
>       }
>       return result;
>     }
>     @Override
>     public Integer extractOutput(Integer accumulator) {

>   }
> {code}
> is translated as the above composite.
