public static <K,U,V,T> PCollection<T> oneToManyJoin(PTable<K,U> left,
                                                     PTable<K,V> right,
                                                     DoFn<Pair<U,Iterable<V>>,T> postProcessFn,
                                                     PType<T> ptype)

Performs a join on two tables, where the left table only contains a single value per key.

This method accepts a DoFn, which is responsible for converting the single left-side value and the iterable of right-side values into output values.

This method of joining is useful when there is a single context value that contains a large number of related values, and all related values must be brought together, with the quantity of the right-side values being too big to fit in memory.

If there are multiple values for the same key in the left-side table, only a single one will be used.

Parameters:

left - left-side table to join

right - right-side table to join

postProcessFn - DoFn to process the results of the join

ptype - type of the output of the postProcessFn

Returns:

the post-processed output of the join
