Summary: Add autoscaler config option to disable parallelism key group alignment Key: FLINK-32120 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-32120 Project: Flink Issue Type: Improvement Components: Autoscaler, Kubernetes Operator Reporter: Maximilian Michels Assignee: Maximilian Michels Fix For: kubernetes-operator-1.6.0, kubernetes-operator-1.5.1 After choosing the target parallelism for a vertex, we choose a higher parallelism if that parallelism leads to evenly spreading the number of key groups. The number of key groups is derived from the max parallelism. The amount of actual skew we would introduce if we did not do the alignment would usually be pretty low. In fact, the data itself can have an uneven load distribution across the keys (hot keys). In this case, the key group alignment is not effective. For experiments, we should allow disabling the key group alignment via a configuration option. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
