Hi KristoffSC
As Zhu said, Flink enables slot sharing[1] by default. This feature is
nothing to do with the resource of your cluster. The benefit of this
feature is written in [1] as well. I mean, it will not detect how many
slots in your cluster and adjust its behavior toward this number. If

Hi Zhu Zhu,
well In my last test I did not change the job config, so I did not change
the parallelism level of any operator and I did not change policy regarding
slot sharing (it stays as default one). Operator Chaining is set to true
without any extra actions like "start new chain, disable chain e
Hi KristoffSC,
Did you increase the parallelism of the vertex that has the largest
parallelism?
Or did you explicitly set tasks to be in different slot sharing group?
With the default slot sharing, the number of slots required/used equals to
the max parallelism of a JobVertex, which is 6 in your c
Thank you David and Zhu Zhu,
this helps a lot.
I have follow up questions though.

Hi KristoffSC,
As Zhu Zhu explained, Flink does not currently auto-scale a Job as new
resources become available. Instead the Job must be stopped via a savepoint
and restarted with a new parallelism (the old rescale CLI experiment use to
perform this).
Making Flink reactive to new resources and a
Hi KristoffSC,
Each task needs a slot to run. However, Flink enables slot sharing[1] by
default so that one slot can host one parallel instance of each task in a
job. That's why your job can start with 6 slots.
However, different parallel instances of the same task cannot share a slot.
That's why
