Really good changes @StephanEwen. +1 for merging.
I had only some minor comments.
I guess that replacing the `ActorGateways` in the `Slots` and preparing the
`Scheduler` to work with futures, are the next follow-up tasks.
> Decouple Slot and Instance

> Key: FLINK-4490
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4490
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: Distributed Coordination
> Reporter: Kurt Young
> Fix For: 1.2.0

>
> Currently, {{Slot}} and {{Instance}} holds each other. For {{Instance}}
> holding {{Slot}}, it makes sense because it reflects how many resources it
> can provide and how many are using.
> But it's not very necessary for {{Slot}} to hold {{Instance}} which it
> belongs to. It only needs to hold some connection information and gateway to
> talk to. Another downside for {{Slot}} holding {{Instance}} is that
> {{Instance}} actually contains some allocate/de-allocation logicals, it will
> be difficult if we want to do some allocation refactor without letting
> {{Slot}} noticed.
> We should abstract the connection information of {{Instance}} to let {{Slot}}
> holds. (Actually we have {{InstanceConnectionInfo}} now, but lacks of
> instance's akka gateway, maybe we can just adding the akka gateway to the
> {{InstanceConnectionInfo}})
