Okay. No problem. Any suggestions for the correct context though? :') I don't think something like a {{FlinkProgram}} class is a good idea [User would need to override a {{program}} method and we will make sure the cluster is setup only once and torn down properly only after the user code finishes completely].
However, if this isn't so, the shutting down of cluster becomes impossible. Can I assume however, that the actor system will be shut down automatically when the main method exits? After all the JVM will terminate. If so, I can make some changes in LocalExecutor to start up the cluster only once.
