Returns the location of content for a given set of Scopes, Content Types, and Format.
If the format is DIRECTORY then the result is the file location of the directory. If the format is JAR then the result is a file representing the jar to create.
Non of the directories or files are created by querying this method, and there is no checks regarding the existence of content in this location.
In case of incremental processing of removed files, it is safe to query the method to get the location of the files to removed.
