Description

Currently Pulsar has all the mechanisms to change the number of partitions through admin REST api. Sometimes it might be easier if Pulsar provides some policies to auto-scale up and down number of partitions. The scale up and down can be based on policies.

Research direction

Start by reviewing Pulsar's existing partition-management mechanisms through the admin REST API and the issue's proposed scaling policies. The issue does not name files, tests, triggers, or completion criteria; the work would need those policies and their behavior defined before implementation can be considered done.
