This generally looks good and pretty straight forward.
As such it is actually good to merge.
I remember that a while back, we were discussing to create a `TaskInfo`
object that would contain "subtaskIndex", "parallelism", "name",
"name-with-subtask", "attempt", "vertex id", "attempt id", etc...
Having such an object would allow to pass all these elements simply from
the TaskDeploymentDescriptor to the Task to the RuntimeContext. And whenever we
add another field, we need not propagate it manually through all the functions
calls, but simply add it to the TaskInfo.
What do you think?
