public class Context extends Object implements io.vertx.lang.rx.RxDelegate
Handler execution.
When Vert.x provides an event to a handler or calls the start or stop methods of a Verticle,
the execution is associated with a Context.
Usually a context is an *event-loop context* and is tied to a specific event loop thread. So executions for that context always occur on that exact same event loop thread.
In the case of worker verticles and running inline blocking code a worker context will be associated with the execution which will use a thread from the worker thread pool.
When a handler is set by a thread associated with a specific context, the Vert.x will guarantee that when that handler is executed, that execution will be associated with the same context.
If a handler is set by a thread not associated with a context (i.e. a non Vert.x thread). Then a new context will be created for that handler.
In other words, a context is propagated.
This means that when a verticle is deployed, any handlers it sets will be associated with the same context - the context of the verticle.
This means (in the case of a standard verticle) that the verticle code will always be executed with the exact same thread, so you don't have to worry about multi-threaded acccess to the verticle state and you can code your application as single threaded.
This class also allows arbitrary data to be put(java.lang.Object, java.lang.Object) and get(java.lang.Object) on the context so it can be shared easily
amongst different handlers of, for example, a verticle instance.
This class also provides runOnContext(io.vertx.core.Handler<java.lang.Void>) which allows an action to be executed asynchronously using the same context.

If the context is associated with a Verticle deployment, this returns the configuration that was specified when
the verticle was deployed.

Set an exception handler called when the context runs an action throwing an uncaught throwable.
When this handler is called,
Vertx.currentContext() will return this context. |

Executes the blocking code in the handler blockingCodeHandler using a thread from the worker pool.
The returned future will be completed with the result on the original context (i.e. on the original event loop of the caller) or failed when the handler throws an exception.
A Future instance is passed into blockingCodeHandler. When the blocking code successfully completes,
the handler should call the Promise.complete(T) or Promise.complete(T) method, or the Promise.fail(java.lang.Throwable)
method if it failed.
The blocking code should block for a reasonable amount of time (i.e no more than a few seconds). Long blocking operations or polling operations (i.e a thread that spin in a loop polling events in a blocking fashion) are precluded.
When the blocking operation lasts more than the 10 seconds, a message will be printed on the console by the blocked thread checker.

verticles using the event-bus or runOnContext(io.vertx.core.Handler<java.lang.Void>)
