             Summary: New Api for setting the attribute on the operator ( setOperatorAttribute )
                 Key: APEXCORE-470
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/APEXCORE-470
             Project: Apache Apex Core
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Sandesh
            Assignee: Sandesh


Currently, *setAttribute* is used to set the operator attributes. Other 2 Attribute setting APIs are specific to input ports (*setInputPortAttributes*) and output ports (*setOutputPortsAttributes*).

Proposal is to have *SetOperatorAttribute* api, which will clearly indicate that user wants set attributes on the operator.
( setOperatorAttribute(Operator operator, Attribute<T> key, T value) )

Following will be the roles for the APIs
*setAttributes* --> for setting Attributes for the whole DAG (  setAttribute(Operator operator, Attribute<T> key, T value) - can be deprecated )
*setOperatorAttributes* --> for setting Attributes for the operator 


All the unit test cases using the previous API will be renamed as a part of this change.
