> Introduce SlotProvider for Scheduler
> ------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-4459
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4459
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Scheduler
> Reporter: Till Rohrmann
> Assignee: Kurt Young
>
> Currently the {{Scheduler}} maintains a queue of available instances which it
> scans if it needs a new slot. If it finds a suitable instance (having free
> slots available) it will allocate a slot from it.
> This slot allocation logic can be factored out and be made available via a
> {{SlotProvider}} interface. The {{SlotProvider}} has methods to allocate a
> slot given a set of location preferences. Slots should be returned as
> {{Futures}}, because in the future the slot allocation might happen
> asynchronously (Flip-6).
> In the first version, the {{SlotProvider}} implementation will simply
> encapsulate the existing slot allocation logic extracted from the
> {{Scheduler}}. When a slot is requested it will return a completed or failed
> future since the allocation happens synchronously.
> The refactoring will have the advantage to simplify the {{Scheduler}} class
> and to pave the way for upcoming refactorings (Flip-6).
