> FlumeJava has the concept of a PObject<T>, a container for a singleton of type T.  It is meant represent the result of a distributed computation that yields a singleton value (for example max, min, and length methods on PCollection<T>).  Generally speaking, the result of any computation that combines/reduces a PCollection into a singleton value could be represented by a PObject.  
> Like PCollection, a PObject defers distributed computation until its value is actually used.
