Github user zentol commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/5535 will merge this, as is, once travis gives a green light. The commits have the rather nice property that they don't require changes to other classes (like the MiniClusterResource); wouldn't want to destroy that by making parallelism protected. As for deriving the parallelism, we could do it but there are in general numerous things we could clean up in these tests.
