I am big time skeptic when it comes to putting this into the
`RuntimeContext`.
If we really need to expose that beyond the `StreamInputProcessor`, it
would probably be best to pass this into the operator, as part of the
"processRecord()" method.
Since StormBolts are implemented as custom operators, they should be able
to pick it up from there.
