> Adaptive Scheduler uses SlotAssigner to assign free slots to slot sharing
> groups. Currently, there're two implementations of SlotAssigner available:
> the
> DefaultSlotAssigner that treats all slots and slot sharing groups equally and
> the {color:#172b4d}StateLocalitySlotAssigner{color} that assigns slots based
> on the number of local key groups to utilize local state recovery. The
> scheduler will use the DefaultSlotAssigner when no key group assignment info
> is available and use the StateLocalitySlotAssigner otherwise.
>
> However, none of the SlotAssigner targets at minimizing the number of TMs,
> which may produce suboptimal slot assignment under the Application Mode. For
> example, when a job with 8 slot sharing groups and 2 TMs (each 4 slots) is
> downscaled through the FLIP-291 API to have 4 slot sharing groups instead,
> the cluster may still have 2 TMs, one with 1 free slot, and the other with 3
> free slots. For end-users, this implies an ineffective downscaling as the
> total cluster resources are not reduced.
>
> We should take minimizing number of TMs into consideration as well. A
> possible approach is to enhance the {color:#172b4d}StateLocalitySlotAssigner:
> when the number of free slots exceeds need, sort all the TMs by a score
> summing from the allocation scores of all slots on it, remove slots from the
> excessive TMs with the lowest score and proceed the remaining slot
> assignment.{color}
