@PublicEvolving public interface FunctionInitializationContext extends ManagedInitializationContext
This interface provides a context in which user functions can initialize by registering to managed state (i.e. state that is managed by state backends).

Operator state is available to all functions, while keyed state is only available for functions after keyBy.

For the purpose of initialization, the context signals if the state is empty or was restored from a previous execution.
