/**
 * An {@code Aggregator<InputT>} enables monitoring of values of type {@code InputT},
 * to be combined across all bundles.
 *
 * <p>Aggregators are created by calling {@link DoFn#createAggregator},
 * typically from the {@link DoFn} constructor. Elements can be added to the
 * {@code Aggregator} by calling {@link Aggregator#addValue}.
 *
 * <p>Aggregators are visible in the monitoring UI, when the pipeline is run
 * using DataflowRunner or BlockingDataflowRunner, along with
 * their current value. Aggregators may not become visible until the system
 * begins executing the ParDo transform that created them and/or their initial
 * value is changed.
 *
 * <p>Example:
 * <pre> {@code
 * class MyDoFn extends DoFn<String, String> {
 *   private Aggregator<Integer, Integer> myAggregator;
 *
 *   public MyDoFn() {
 *     myAggregator = createAggregator("myAggregator", new Sum.SumIntegerFn());
 *   }
 *
 *   @Override
 *   public void processElement(ProcessContext c) {
 *     myAggregator.addValue(1);
 *   }
 * }
 * } </pre>
 *
 * @param <InputT> the type of input values
 * @param <OutputT> the type of output values

  // - Add a shortcut for the most common aggregator:
  //   c.createAggregator("name", new Sum.SumIntegerFn()).
