   Thanks for getting started on this issue @kev-inn. Unfortunately, I think 
the PR goes a bit in the wrong direction. We first want to do a basic cleanup 
of the federated instructions, without modifying the CP or Spark instructions. 
The replace in `FEDInstructionUtils` should stay mostly as it is, and all 
federated instructions should have overloaded `parseInstruction` methods to 
consume either CP or Spark instructions (objects) directly and construct the 
FED instruction like [1] without replicating the string parsing logic. For the 
parseInstruction with strings, we can call the parse on the respective CP 
instruction (for consistency) and use again the above methods. 
   
   In a second step, we would remove the replicated instructions like 
`MMFEDInstruction` (redundant to `AggregateBinaryFEDInstruction`) and let all 
instruction send CP instruction strings to the federated workers. 
   
   In a third step, we then extend the federated workers to (under certain 
conditions) create a hop that represents the CP instruction and generate lops 
and instructions as needed (e.g., CP, Spark, GPU).
   
   Sorry, if I was not clear during our offline discussions.
