> It is not uncommon for processors to need managed state which  persists across restarts.  One good example of this is the GetHTTP processor which needs to save state of the last cache/e-tag information it received from the server it interacts with so that it can avoid constantly pulling an unchanged resource.
> Rather than making processors roll their own persistant state management perhaps we can offer something to them via the ProcessContext which will allow them to save simple primitive values and limited length Strings which are local to that node and which are local to that processor only.
