I think this is a duplicate of https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-35833
> Local artifact fetcher should not require base directory
> --------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-36464
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-36464
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Deployment / Kubernetes
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0, 1.20.0
> Reporter: Fabian Paul
> Priority: Major
>
> Currently Flink tries to fetch all artifacts referenced by the job into a
> central base directory.
> [https://github.com/apache/flink/blob/6e7bf9b6f939cd1d183e416c0187ad24270e0bc1/flink-clients/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/client/program/artifact/ArtifactFetchManager.java#L76]
>
> In case, users only rely on artifacts that are resolvable locally this base
> directory is ignored.

>
> Unfortunately, Flink always tries to provision the base directory leading to
> strange errors in case Flink has no write privileges on the base directory
> path.

>
> Since the base directory is not needed for local execution/local artifact
> fetcher, we should allow the creation of the base directory to be disabled.
