| /** |
| * Generates a String representation to identify a single instance of StreamProcessor. |
| * |
| * This value can be representative of its current executing environment. It can also be custom-managed by the user, |
| * as long as it adheres to the specification below. More than one processor can co-exist within the same JVM, |
| * as long as their identifiers are guaranteed to be unique. |
| * |
| * <b>Specification of processor identifier</b>: |
| * <ul> |
| * <li>Processor identifier has to be unique among the processors within a job</li> |
| * <li>When more than one processor co-exist within the same JVM, the processor identifier can be of the format: |
| * $x_$y, where 'x' is a unique identifier for the executing JVM and 'y' is a unique identifier for the |
| * processor instance within the JVM. When there is only one processor within a JVM, 'x' should be sufficient to |
| * uniquely identify the processor instance.</li> |
| * </ul> |
| * |
| * <b>Note</b>: |
| * In case of more than one processors within the same JVM, the custom implementation of ProcessorIdGenerator can |
| * contain a static counter, which is incremented on each call to generateProcessorId. The counter value can |
| * be treated as the identifier for the processor instance within the JVM. |
| * |
| * @param config Config instance |
| * @return String Identifier for the processor |
