Interface Summary
Interface	Description
PCollectionView<T>	A `PCollectionView<T>` is an immutable view of a `PCollection` as a value of type `T` that can be accessed as a side input to a `ParDo` transform.
PInput	The interface for things that might be input to a `PTransform`.
POutput	The interface for things that might be output from a `PTransform`.
PValue	*For internal use.*
TypeDescriptors.TypeVariableExtractor<InputT,OutputT>	A helper interface for use with `TypeDescriptors.extractFromTypeParameters(Object, Class, TypeVariableExtractor)`.

Class Summary
Class	Description
KV<K,V>	An immutable key/value pair.
KV.OrderByKey<K extends java.lang.Comparable<? super K>,V>	A `Comparator` that orders `KVs` by the natural ordering of their keys.
KV.OrderByValue<K,V extends java.lang.Comparable<? super V>>	A `Comparator` that orders `KVs` by the natural ordering of their values.
PBegin	`PBegin` is the "input" to a root `PTransform`, such as `Read` or `Create`.
PCollection<T>	A `PCollection<T>` is an immutable collection of values of type `T`.
PCollectionList<T>	A `PCollectionList<T>` is an immutable list of homogeneously typed `PCollection<T>s`.
PCollectionTuple	A `PCollectionTuple` is an immutable tuple of heterogeneously-typed `PCollections`, "keyed" by `TupleTags`.
PCollectionViews	For internal use only; no backwards compatibility guarantees.
PCollectionViews.IterableViewFn<T>	Implementation which is able to adapt a multimap materialization to a `Iterable<T>`.
PCollectionViews.ListViewFn<T>	Implementation which is able to adapt a multimap materialization to a `List<T>`.
PCollectionViews.MapViewFn<K,V>	Implementation which is able to adapt a multimap materialization to a `Map<K, V>`.
PCollectionViews.MultimapViewFn<K,V>	Implementation which is able to adapt a multimap materialization to a `Map<K, Iterable<V>>`.
PCollectionViews.SimplePCollectionView<ElemT,PrimitiveViewT,ViewT,W extends BoundedWindow>	A class for `PCollectionView` implementations, with additional type parameters that are not visible at pipeline assembly time when the view is used as a side input.
PCollectionViews.SingletonViewFn<T>	Implementation which is able to adapt a multimap materialization to a `T`.
PDone	`PDone` is the output of a `PTransform` that has a trivial result, such as a `WriteFiles`.
PValueBase	*For internal use.*
Row	`Row` is an immutable tuple-like type to represent one element in a `PCollection`.
Row.Builder	Builder for `Row`.
RowType	`RowType` describes the fields in `Row`.
RowType.Field	Field of a row.
ShardedKey<K>	A key and a shard number.
TaggedPValue	*For internal use only; no backwards-compatibility guarantees.*
TimestampedValue<V>	An immutable pair of a value and a timestamp.
TimestampedValue.TimestampedValueCoder<T>	A `Coder` for `TimestampedValue`.
TupleTag<V>	A `TupleTag` is a typed tag to use as the key of a heterogeneously typed tuple, like `PCollectionTuple`.
TupleTagList	A `TupleTagList` is an immutable list of heterogeneously typed `TupleTags`.
TypeDescriptor<T>	A description of a Java type, including actual generic parameters where possible.
TypeDescriptors	A utility class for creating `TypeDescriptor` objects for different types, such as Java primitive types, containers and `KVs` of other `TypeDescriptor` objects, and extracting type variables of parameterized types (e.g.
TypeParameter<T>	Captures a free type variable that can be used in `TypeDescriptor.where(org.apache.beam.sdk.values.TypeParameter<X>, org.apache.beam.sdk.values.TypeDescriptor<X>)`.
ValueInSingleWindow<T>	An immutable tuple of value, timestamp, window, and pane.
ValueInSingleWindow.Coder<T>	A coder for `ValueInSingleWindow`.
ValueWithRecordId<ValueT>	For internal use only; no backwards compatibility guarantees.
ValueWithRecordId.StripIdsDoFn<T>	`DoFn` to turn a `ValueWithRecordId<T>` back to the value `T`.
ValueWithRecordId.ValueWithRecordIdCoder<ValueT>	A `Coder` for `ValueWithRecordId`, using a wrapped value `Coder`.
WindowingStrategy<T,W extends BoundedWindow>	A `WindowingStrategy` describes the windowing behavior for a specific collection of values.

Enum Summary
Enum	Description
PCollection.IsBounded	The enumeration of cases for whether a `PCollection` is bounded.
WindowingStrategy.AccumulationMode	The accumulation modes that can be used with windowing.

Package org.apache.beam.sdk.values Description

Defines PCollection and other classes for representing data in a Pipeline.

In particular, see these collection abstractions:

PCollection - an immutable collection of values of type T and the main representation for data in Beam.
PCollectionView - an immutable view of a PCollection that can be accessed as a side input of a ParDo PTransform.
PCollectionTuple - a heterogeneous tuple of PCollections used in cases where a PTransform takes or returns multiple PCollections.
PCollectionList - a homogeneous list of PCollections used, for example, as input to Flatten.

And these classes for individual values play particular roles in Beam:

KV - a key/value pair that is used by keyed transforms, most notably GroupByKey.
TimestampedValue - a timestamp/value pair that is used for windowing and handling out-of-order data in streaming execution.

For further details, see the documentation for each class in this package.
