    - #### key

          @Nonnull
          public K key()

      Returns the underlying key

    - #### broadcastKey

          @Nonnull
          public static <K> BroadcastKey<K> broadcastKey(@Nonnull
                                                                  K key)

      Returns a given key as a broadcast key.

      Note: Several processor instances can use the returned `BroadcastKey` with the same `key` to store unique values and the values will not overwrite each other. Upon a snapshot restore, each processor will receive multiple key-value pairs with the given BroadcastKey

    - #### equals

          public boolean equals(Object o)

      Overrides:
        `equals` in class `Object`

    - #### hashCode

          public int hashCode()

      Overrides:
        `hashCode` in class `Object`

    - #### toString

          public String toString()

      Overrides:
        `toString` in class `Object`
