For {{Instance}} > holding {{Slot}}, it makes sense because it reflects how many resources it > can provide and how many are using. > But it's not very necessary for {{Slot}} to hold {{Instance}} which it > belongs to. It only needs to hold some connection information and gateway to > talk to. Another downside for {{Slot}} holding {{Instance}} is that > {{Instance}} actually contains some allocate/de-allocation logicals, it will > be difficult if we want to do some allocation refactor without letting > {{Slot}} noticed. > We should abstract the connection information of {{Instance}} to let {{Slot}} > holds. (Actually we have {{InstanceConnectionInfo}} now, but lacks of > instance's akka gateway, maybe we can just adding the akka gateway to the > {{InstanceConnectionInfo}}) -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
