We were thinking of using this in the context of autoscaling or in general scaling jobs up or down to a target parallelism. Theoretically there could be some circumstances where if the job requirements state a minimum that is higher than the current we may want cancel the job (eventually). But from a purely practical perspective, I think most people would rather have the job running with the current (smaller) parallelism than to not have it at all in cases where the resources cannot be acquired. This is a rather common case in cloud envy due to various resource quotas, changing circumstances etc. We could also make this configurable with a timeout to cancel where a negative/infinite timeout would mean that we actually wait forever for the resources without cancelling. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
