Add resources that are needed

For resizable Jobs,
(Optional, as required) we can release resources that are no longer needed.

How about add-resources function?
For example, I mean like “bresize add”.
bresize add "1*hostA 2*hostB hostC" 221

It does seem to help.

    Growth is handled via the auto-resize feature. Adding resources requires the application to have a hook/call back to actually acknowledge that new resources have been allocated, and that the application itself can actually modify itself at runtime to take advantage of new resources.
    e.g. bsub -ar -n 5,100 a.out
    the job would be schedules as soon as possible with a minimum of 5 cores allocated - and in subsequent scheduling cycles, additional cores could be allocated (dependent upon scheduling priorities and other workloads) up to a maximum of 100
