@aljoscha I'm sorry, I cannot follow? Can you elaborate?
The idea is to add support for proper folders next to jars when opening an
execution environment. Since folders cannot be handled the same way as jars
during execution (i.e., serialize and ship them around by the blob manager),
the assumption for folder paths is that they are accessible from all agents in
the distributed runtime (JobManager + TaskManagers), e.g., via shared NFS
folders.
