public interface FunctionContext

Defines the execution context of a Function. It is required by the Function.execute(FunctionContext) to execute a Function on a particular member.

A context can be data dependent or data independent. For data dependent functions refer to RegionFunctionContext

This interface is implemented by GemFire. Instances of it will be passed in to Function.execute(FunctionContext).

boolean	isPossibleDuplicate() Returns a boolean to identify whether this is a re-execute.
