Description
User reported issue:
... PTransform class that takes a pcollection of Dict[str, numpy.ndarray] as input, and I added the annotation of @beam.typehints.with_input_types(beam.typehints.Dict[str, numpy.ndarray]). However, this causes error to empty dict input, and the error message is """Input type hint violation at _TopKStatsGeneratorImpl: expected Dict[str, ndarray], got Dict[Union[], Union[]] """
From the user report it seems like our type hints could be more flexible in what they accept for empty dictionaries.
Imported from Jira [BEAM-4506](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-4506). Original Jira may contain additional context.
