             Summary: Pass --autoscale to celery workers
                 Key: AIRFLOW-1945
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AIRFLOW-1945
             Project: Apache Airflow
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: celery, cli
            Reporter: Michael O.
            Priority: Trivial


Celery supports autoscaling of the worker pool size (number of tasks that can 
parallelize within one worker node).  I'd like to propose to support passing 
the --autoscale parameter to {{airflow worker}}.
Since this is a trivial change, I am not sure if there's any reason for not 
being supported already.(?)

For example
{{airflow worker --concurrency=4}} will set a fixed pool size of 4.

With minimal changes in 
[https://github.com/apache/incubator-airflow/blob/4ce4faaeae7a76d97defcf9a9d3304ac9d78b9bd/airflow/bin/cli.py#L855]
 it could support
{{airflow worker --autoscale=2,10}} to set an autoscaled pool size of 2 to 10
