ConfigT - A configuration object which will be populated with the external configuration.InputT - The input type of the externally configured PTransform.OutputT - The output type of the externally configured PTransform.public interface ExternalTransformBuilder<ConfigT,InputT extends PInput,OutputT extends POutput>
Classes which implement this interface will be instantiated externally and require a zero-args
 constructor. The buildExternal method will be called with the configuration object as a
 parameter.
 
This builder needs to be registered alongside with a URN through ExternalTransformRegistrar. Note that the configuration requires setters for all configuration
 parameters, e.g. if there is a parameter "start", there should be a corresponding setter
 "setStart".
