Review Comment:
   > Sometimes 1/n as a float is bigger than 1/n, sometimes smaller, and the 
problem occurs when it's bigger
   
   Yeah, Good point. I also thought about this issue when doing this PR. The 
principle of this PR is to use the **final value** of 1/n to do the 
calculation, if it's bigger than the real "1/n", that's fine, spark will only 
assign the resources to **"n-1"** tasks instead of **n** tasks. Because Spark 
thinks the **"final bigger 1/n"** is the final value the user would like to 
set. What Spark should do is do the correct calculation based on the **final 
"1/n"** no matter if it's bigger or smaller.
