title: Spring Batch and Pivotal Cloud Foundry
body: <p>We are evaluating Spring Batch framework to replace our home grown batch framework in our organization and we should be able to deploy the batch in Pivotal Cloud Foundry (PCF). In this regard, can you let us know your thoughts on the issue below:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Let us say if we use Remote Partitioning strategy to process large volume of records, can the batch job auto scale Slave nodes in the cloud based on the amount of that the batch job processes? Or we have to scale appropriate number of Slave nodes and keep them in place before the batch job kicks-off?</li>
  <li>How does the "grid size" parameter configuration in the scenario above?</li>
  </ul>
