<h2>Side Input</h2>
<p>
  In addition to the main input PCollection, you can provide additional inputs to a ParDo transform
  in the form of side inputs. A side input is an additional input that your DoFn can access each
  time it processes an element in the input PCollection. When you specify a side input, you create
  a view of some other data that can be read from within the ParDo transform’s DoFn while
  processing each element.
</p>
<p>
  Side inputs are useful if your ParDo needs to inject additional data when processing each element
  in the input PCollection, but the additional data needs to be determined at runtime (and not
  hard-coded). Such values might be determined by the input data, or depend on a different branch
  of your pipeline.
