Hi,

The current rescale API appears to be a work in progress. A couple years
ago, we disabled access to the API [1].

I'm looking into this problem as part of working on autoscaling [2] where
we currently require a full restart of the job to apply the parallelism
overrides. This adds additional delay and comes with the caveat that we
don't know whether sufficient resources are available prior to executing
the scaling decision. We obviously do not want to get stuck due to a lack
of resources. So a rescale API would have to ensure enough resources are
available prior to restarting the job.

I've created an issue here:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-30773

Any comments or interest in working on this?
