Hi, you could consider state operator's partition numbers as "max parallelism", as parallelism can be reduced via applying coalesce. It would be effectively working similar as key groups.
If you're also considering offline query, there's a tool to manipulate state which enables reading and writing state in structured streaming, achieving rescaling and schema evolution. https://github.com/HeartSaVioR/spark-state-tools (DISCLAIMER: I'm an author of this tool.)
