> FLINK-29501 introduced a way to rescale jobs via a user-provided parallelism
> overrides map. This feature is already used today by the Autoscaler of the
> Flink Kubernetes operator. However, it requires a full restart of the Flink
> job and only supports the application deployment mode.
> In a K8s environment, this is inefficient because all pods for a deployment
> will be surrendered. Upon restart, they have to be re-acquired. In addition
> to being slow, this can also lead to situations where resource constraints
> prevent a restart from executing properly.
> Ideally, we would would want the following to happen on receiving a rescale
> request:
> # Rescale API receives a request with a parallelism overrides map (vertexId
> => parallelism) for a jobId
> # Compute the number of required task slots using the overrides and the
> current JobGraph
> ## If the total number of task slots for the cluster is less than the
> required number of task slots of the rescale, acquire the missing task slots.
> Otherwise, do nothing
> ## Wait for new task slots to become available
> ## Abort rescale request on timeout
> # Redeploy the JobGraph / Tasks with the updated parallelisms
> # Surrender any unused task slots in case of scaling down
>
> There is an existing "Rescaling" API which is currently disabled. We have to
> evaluate whether reusing it makes sense.
