Hi, Which Flink version are you using? Did you try to analyze the bottleneck of the application, i.e., is it CPU, disk IO, or network bound?
Regarding the task scheduling. AFAIK, before version 1.5.0, Flink tried to schedule tasks on the same machine to reduce the amount of network transfer. Hence, applications might scale better until tasks are scheduled to different machines.
