Hi Chen, Samza container is still single threaded. In case of yarn based deployment, Samza uses this config value to verify that the cluster has sufficient capacity to support running your job.
Apart from this verification, I don't believe we utilize this config value. If you set it to > 1, it won't have any effect on the Samza job execution itself. However, you may end-up under-utilizing your Yarn cluster resources. HTH!
