Two tests:
**Confg**
`topology.workers` not set;
`topology.acker.executors` not set.
`topology.component.resources.onheap.memory.mb` is default: 128.
`worker.heap.memory.mb` is default: 768.
**Test1**

numOfAckerExec = Math.ceil(12 * 128 / 768) = 2.
**Test2**

numOfAckerExec =Math.ceil(25 * 128 / 768) = 5.
