Github user aljoscha commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/3921 I think we can get by without changing `ClusterClient` and `ContextEnvironment` by only reading the parallelism from the global config in `CliFrontend` when trying to read the user parallelism from the parameters, i.e. in `run()` and `info()`. In the example of `run()` we could change this code: ``` int userParallelism = options.getParallelism(); LOG.debug("User parallelism is set to {}", userParallelism); if (client.getMaxSlots() != -1 && userParallelism == -1) { logAndSysout("Using the parallelism provided by the remote cluster (" + client.getMaxSlots() + "). " + "To use another parallelism, set it at the ./bin/flink client."); userParallelism = client.getMaxSlots(); } return executeProgram(program, client, userParallelism); ``` to this ``` int parallelism = options.getParallelism(); LOG.debug("User parallelism is set to {}", parallelism); if (client.getMaxSlots() != -1 && parallelism == -1) { logAndSysout("Using the parallelism provided by the remote cluster (" + client.getMaxSlots() + "). " + "To use another parallelism, set it at the ./bin/flink client."); parallelism = client.getMaxSlots(); } else if (parallelism == ExecutionConfig.PARALLELISM_DEFAULT) { parallelism = GlobalConfiguration.loadConfiguration().getInteger( ConfigConstants.DEFAULT_PARALLELISM_KEY, ConfigConstants.DEFAULT_PARALLELISM); } return executeProgram(program, client, parallelism); ``` with this change `StreamContextEnvironment` would simply need this: ``` if (ctx.getParallelism() > 0) { setParallelism(ctx.getParallelism()); } ``` because the environment will have the default parallelism set (in `ContextEnvironmentFactory` https://github.com/apache/flink/blob/c793ea41d88fe84fa97d825728ad95f35e27ef82/flink-clients/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/client/program/ContextEnvironmentFactory.java#L52-L52) What do you think?
