----------------------------------
[~xintongsong] Sorry, I was wrong about that, it won't get worse no matter how
many times it's been restarted, only affect by the number of lost TMs. Sorry
about wasting your time.
> Add min/max number of slots configuration to limit total number of slots

> Key: FLINK-15959
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-15959
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Runtime / Coordination
> Affects Versions: 1.11.0
> Reporter: YufeiLiu
> Priority: Major
>
> Flink removed `-n` option after FLIP-6, change to ResourceManager start a new
> worker when required. But I think maintain a certain amount of slots is
> necessary. These workers will start immediately when ResourceManager starts
> and would not release even if all slots are free.
> Here are some resons:
> # Users actually know how many resources are needed when run a single job,
> initialize all workers when cluster starts can speed up startup process.
> # Job schedule in topology order, next operator won't schedule until prior
> execution slot allocated. The TaskExecutors will start in several batchs in
> some cases, it might slow down the startup speed.
> # Flink support
> [FLINK-12122|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-12122] [Spread out
> tasks evenly across all available registered TaskManagers], but it will only
> effect if all TMs are registered. Start all TMs at begining can slove this
> problem.
> *suggestion:*
> * Add config "taskmanager.minimum.numberOfTotalSlots" and
> "taskmanager.maximum.numberOfTotalSlots", default behavior is still like
> before.
> * Start plenty number of workers to satisfy minimum slots when
> ResourceManager accept leadership(subtract recovered workers).
> * Don't comlete slot request until minimum number of slots are registered,
> and throw exeception when exceed maximum.
