> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: Network
> Reporter: Zhenzhong Xu
>
> Currently, the number of network buffer per task manager is preconfigured and
> the memory is pre-allocated through taskmanager.network.numberOfBuffers
> config. In a Job DAG with shuffle phase, this number can go up very high
> depends on the TM cluster size. The formula for calculating the buffer count
> is documented here
> (https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-master/setup/config.html#configuring-the-network-buffers).
>
> #slots-per-TM^2 * #TMs * 4
> In a standalone deployment, we may need to control the task manager cluster
> size dynamically and then leverage the up-coming Flink feature to support
> scaling job parallelism/rescaling at runtime.
> If the buffer count config is static at runtime and cannot be changed without
> restarting task manager process, this may add latency and complexity for
> scaling process. I am wondering if there is already any discussion around
> whether the network buffer should be automatically managed by Flink or at
> least expose some API to allow it to be reconfigured. Let me know if there is
> any existing JIRA that I should follow.
