Description

I have an executable file (let's say foo.exe) that invokes REEF's client. foo.exe will not run, if REEF's DLLs are not in the current running directory.

This constraint is fine if I'm working locally. However when I'm working on a cluster and try to deploy foo.exe, I have to create a process to extract all the DLLs to the current directory. This process creates some unwanted overhead.

I'm wondering if we have any plan to fix this. In the future, it would be great if we can call REEF in a different directory. Thanks.
