If you implement a Bolt you can retrieve this information from Storm. Thus,
the compatibility layer should provide this information, too.
> Reintroduce Indexed reader functionality to streaming
> -----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-1870
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-1870
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: Streaming
> Reporter: Gyula Fora
> Assignee: Matthias J. Sax
> Priority: Minor
>
> The Indexed record reader classes (IndexedReaderIterator,
> IndexedMutableReader) were introduced to allow the streaming operators to
> access the index of the last read channel from the input gate. This was a
> necessary step toward future input sorting operators.
> Unfortunately this untested feature was patched away by the following commit:
> https://github.com/apache/flink/commit/5232c56b13b7e13e2cf10dbe818c221f5557426d
> At some point we need to reimplement these features with proper tests.
