public class CountingSource
extends java.lang.Object
GenerateSequence instead.
 A source that produces longs. When used as a BoundedSource, CountingSource
 starts at 0 and counts up to a specified maximum. When used as an UnboundedSource, it counts up to Long.MAX_VALUE and then never produces more output. (In
 practice, this limit should never be reached.)
 
The bounded CountingSource is implemented based on OffsetBasedSource and
 OffsetBasedSource.OffsetBasedReader, so it performs efficient initial splitting and it
 supports dynamic work rebalancing.
 
To produce a bounded source, use createSourceForSubrange(long, long). To produce an
 unbounded source, use createUnboundedFrom(long).

@Deprecated public static BoundedSource<java.lang.Long> upTo(long numElements)
GenerateSequence insteadBoundedSource that will produce the specified number of elements, from 0 to numElements - 1.@Deprecated public static UnboundedSource<java.lang.Long,CountingSource.CounterMark> unbounded()
GenerateSequence insteadUnboundedSource that will produce numbers starting from 0 up to
 Long.MAX_VALUE.
 After Long.MAX_VALUE, the source never produces more output. (In practice, this
 limit should never be reached.)
 
Elements in the resulting PCollection<Long> will have timestamps
 corresponding to processing time at element generation, provided by Instant.now().
@Deprecated public static UnboundedSource<java.lang.Long,CountingSource.CounterMark> unboundedWithTimestampFn(SerializableFunction<java.lang.Long,Instant> timestampFn)
GenerateSequence and call GenerateSequence.withTimestampFn(SerializableFunction) insteadUnboundedSource that will produce numbers starting from 0 up to
 Long.MAX_VALUE, with element timestamps supplied by the specified function.
 After Long.MAX_VALUE, the source never produces more output. (In practice, this
 limit should never be reached.)
 
Note that the timestamps produced by timestampFn may not decrease.
