Github user mxm commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/1360#issuecomment-158009498 True. That's how it is handled on the batch side. Not sure about this behavior though.

The rational behind this is probably to maximize the parallelism for all operators and not have operators with exceptional high parallelism.
