Github user sachingoel0101 commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/1026#issuecomment-131768999 Yes. Minimizing the arguments being passed to `RuntimeContext` was the motivation. I thought about putting every task specific field into the TaskInfo object but since it isn't a real problem, hesitated. Should I do that then? I certainly like the idea. The constructors for `RuntimeContext` are somewhat messy, and doing this would make any future changes to contexts a lot easier.
