    An ability to add threads dynamically to an already running mmapplypolicy job is technically hard to implement. More importantly, it is not really the right lever for controlling the how fast mmapplypolicy runs, and how much impact it has on the overall cluster. We plan on introducing a different mechanism for controlling those aspects of mmapplypolicy behavior.
