This context is an abstraction for scopes. Prior to this there were one scopes the physical node (essentially conf file). This allows for new subscopes such as logical node contexts. This allows information to be passed to specific logical nodes (such as logicalnode name). This interface will likely subsume FlumeConfiguration (physical node scope), and configuration information grabbed from the master such as as logical node specific failover chains (master scope). With scope chaining and shadowing we can in the future introduce node specific configuration settings transparently.
