    I think it would be better to keep `accConfig` out of the ProcessFunctions. 
It is just passing information to the `GeneratedAggregations` which could also 
be code generated. The only thing that we need is a `RuntimeContext` in 
`GeneratedAggregations`. Therefore, I propose to add a method 
`GeneratedAggregations.initialize(ctx: RuntimeContext())` instead of adding 
`GeneratedAggregations.setDataViewFactory()`. In `initialize()` we can generate 
code that registers all necessary state by itself and keeps it as member 
variables.
    
    I think this would be cleaner because it encapsulates everything that's 
related to aggregation functions in the code-gen'd class. 
    
    If we use heap state in `MapView` and `ListView` as default, we also won't 
need `DataViewFactory` because we can generate all state access directly (if 
required).
