Hi Vasia In that case, we might as well change it. getExecutionEnvironment actually goes through the contextFactory, and it then depends on this contextFactory how it generates new environments. For example, all the Test Environments currently are shared, i.e., the factory returns the same object on every call. However, in general, this wouldn't be the case.
I'll push a patch along with the fix I'm working on. Cheers!
