Motivation is to have k8s HA setup without extra component - Zookeeper, see [1]
Purpose of BlobStore is vague to me, what kind of BLOBs are stored? Looks like if we start job from savepoint, then persistence of BlobStore is not necessary, but is it needed if we recover from checkpoint?

However, I'm a bit concerned about the direction in general: it essentially means re-implementing ZK functionality on top of FS. What are the motivation and the use case?

I'm not sure do you need FileSystemBlobStore or VoidBlobStore is enough. Can't figure out, should BlobStore survive JobManager crash. I see that ZookeeperHaServices use FileSystemBlobStore, but not clear is to due to having multiple JobManagers (leader + follower) or necessity to preserve BLOBs on restart. Thanks, Alexey
