Description

It would be quite useful for vertices to reach some worker-related information stored i.e. in the GraphState class.

This information could be exported as a parameter to pre/post/Application/Superstep like this:

public void preApplication(Configurable workerObject);
public void postApplication(Configurable workerObject);
public void preSuperstep(Configurable workerObject);
public void postSuperstep(Configurable workerObject);
public Configurable getWorkerObject();

Another possibility is to add a Context inner class to BasicVertex to store this information.
