[kepler-dev] Origin of incoming data in an Actor

[Matt Jones]

Hi Ivens,

When you find a token on your input port, you can inspect its type.  There
is no additional information about where the token originated, as each actor
should be able to handle any data source that emits the proper types of
tokens.  You could, of course, encode data in the tokens that are output by
your upstream actors that you can use in your conditional logic within your
actor.
