<h2>Combine - Combine PerKey</h2>
<p>After creating a keyed PCollection (for example, by using a GroupByKey transform), a common
pattern is to combine the collection of values associated with each key into a single, merged value.
This pattern of a GroupByKey followed by merging the collection of values is equivalent to
Combine PerKey transform. The combine function you supply to Combine PerKey must be an associative
reduction function or a subclass of CombineFn.</p>
<p>In this task, we are going to implement the sum of scores per player using
<a href="https://beam.apache.org/releases/pydoc/2.11.0/apache_beam.transforms.core.html#apache_beam.transforms.core.CombinePerKey">
CombinePerKey</a>.
