Thank you for your quick reply! Is there any plan to improve this? I asked this question due to some investigation on comparing those state of art streaming systems, among which Flink and DataFlow allow changing parallelism number, and by my knowledge of Spark Streaming, it seems it is also able to do that: if some “key interval” concept is used, then state can somehow decoupled from partition number by consistent hashing.

The reason is exactly the number of state stores which is exactly the number of partitions (perhaps multiplied by the number of stateful operators). I think you'll even get a warning or an exception when you change it after restarting the query. The number of partitions is stored in a checkpoint location.

Whether this will cause my checkpointed state get messed up? Regards Jialei
