    For the 2nd point `an executor idle timeout has elapsed.`, in the `reset` 
we also clear the executor idle timeout tracking info, which means executor 
idle timeout will be recalculated based on newly registered executors. I think 
this point could be true.
    
    Yes we could set this flag `initializing` to false in reset, but I think 
the scenario I mentioned above still should be concerned.
    
    >the purpose of "initializing" is to avoid unnecessary executors ramp down 
before the stage submitted or executor timeout. For example if min executor 
number is 0, initial number is 10. If "initializing" is set to false, executor 
number will ramp down to 0 immediately, and during this time if stage is 
submitted, then still requires unnecessary executor ramp up to meet this 
stage's requirement.
