### getCurrentKey

    public KEYIN getCurrentKey()

  Description copied from class: `TaskInputOutputContext`
  Get the current key.

  Specified by:
    `getCurrentKey` in class `TaskInputOutputContext<KEYIN,VALUEIN,KEYOUT,VALUEOUT>`
  Returns:
    the current key object or null if there isn't one

### getCurrentValue

    public VALUEIN getCurrentValue()
