Kenneth Knowles commented on BEAM-6257:
---------------------------------------
[~ibzib] yes, at that level of implementation detail it is true. However, I
think the top-level PAssert API does not actually require side inputs. It is
just more work to eliminate using them.
> Can we deprecate the side input paths through PAssert?

> PAssert has two distinct paths - one uses GBK with a single-firing trigger,
> and one uses side inputs. Side inputs are usually a later addition to a
> runner, while GBK is one of the first primitives (with a single firing it is
> even simple). Filing this against myself to figure out why the side input
> version is not deprecated, and if it can be deprecated.
> Marking this as a "starter" task because finding and eliminating side input
> version of PAssert should be fairly easy. You might need help but can ask on
> dev@
