BaseBroadcastProcessFunction.Context (Flink : Runtime 2.1.0 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.apache.flink.streaming.api.functions.co.BaseBroadcastProcessFunction.Context

Direct Known Subclasses:

BroadcastProcessFunction.Context, KeyedBroadcastProcessFunction.Context

Enclosing class:

BaseBroadcastProcessFunction
```
public abstract class BaseBroadcastProcessFunction.Context
extends Object
```
A base context available to the broadcasted stream side of a BroadcastConnectedStream.
Apart from the basic functionality of a context, this also allows to get and update the elements stored in the broadcast state. In other words, it gives read/write access to the broadcast state.

```
    Fetches the BroadcastState with the specified name.
    
    Parameters:
    
    stateDescriptor - the MapStateDescriptor of the state to be fetched.
    
    Returns:
    
    The required broadcast state.
  - timestamp
```
public abstract Long timestamp()
```
    Timestamp of the element currently being processed or timestamp of a firing timer.
    This might be null, depending on the stream's watermark strategy.

```
    Emits a record to the side output identified by the OutputTag.
    
    Parameters:
    
    outputTag - the OutputTag that identifies the side output to emit to.
    
    value - The record to emit.
