Yes, the idea is that I will force jobA and jobB to use the same workspace, and run exactly the same as if they were still the same monolithic job they were before.
Using archives doesn't really work me, as the files that would need to be archived are spread throughout the entire workspace, which is too big (30 GB +) to archive and retrieve in a timely manner. And yes, you are correct that I don't want to tie jobA and jobB to only one node. Can you explain a little more what you mean by an anti-pattern?
