Hi Everyone,

@John

This is a problem that we've spent some time trying to crack; in the end,
we've decided to go against doing any upgrades to JobGraphStore from
JobMaster to avoid having multiple writers that are guarded by different
leader election lock (Dispatcher and JobMaster might live in a different
process). The contract we've decided to choose instead is leveraging the
idempotency of the endpoint and having the user of the API retry in case
we're unable to persist new requirements in the JobGraphStore [1]. We
eventually need to move JobGraphStore out of the dispatcher, but that's way
out of the scope of this FLIP. The solution is a deliberate trade-off. The
worst scenario is that the Dispatcher fails over in between retries, which
would simply rescale the job to meet the previous resource requirements
(more extended unavailability of underlying HA storage would have worse
consequences than this). Does that answer your question?

@Matthias

Good catch! I'm fixing it now, thanks!
