Hi everyone, have been following this group for months but can't recall reading anything related to this: currently the instance size is one big knob while it'd be useful to be able to select a different instance size at runtime. Our web site is perfectly served by F1 instances but it runs out of memory of some task queues when iterating over a large number of instances. For that reason only we have to run F2 instances at higher costs. The type of work we run in task queues really suits MapReduce but the java version has been broken for us for many months now. Would it be difficult to add a parameter when posting to a task queue to request for a larger instance? I don't really want to use backends given their bad rep.
Similarly, giving people more choice with regards to what instances to start and when could perhaps solve a large set of problems that people have been complaining about. If you can't modify the scheduler to suit all possible needs (I can understand it's an impossible goal), just give the ability to write our own schedulers. At the end of the day we pay for what we use and the that usage is capped by the daily budget anyway. Does it make sense?
