Description

If a function is invoked on a region, it's common to try to get at the local data set for the function.

The API do this is is pretty ugly. It should be cleaned up

RegionFunctionContext ctx = (RegionFunctionContext) context;
Region data = PartitionRegionHelper.getLocalDataForContext(ctx);

Instead of this, functions that are invoked on regions should probably implement a different interface that gets passed the local data they are interested in.
