   @Jackie-Jiang Reload already piggybacks on the refresh semaphore to control 
the number of parallel `SegmentReloadMessage` it is processing:
   
   ```
         HelixTaskResult helixTaskResult = new HelixTaskResult();
         _logger.info("Handling message: {}", _message);
         try {
           if (_segmentName.equals("")) {
             acquireSema("ALL", _logger);
             // NOTE: the method aborts if any segment reload encounters an 
unhandled exception,
             // and can lead to inconsistent state across segments
             _instanceDataManager.reloadAllSegments(_tableNameWithType, 
_forceDownload, _reloadParallelism);
           } else {
             // Reload one segment
             acquireSema(_segmentName, _logger);
             _instanceDataManager.reloadSegment(_tableNameWithType, 
_segmentName, _forceDownload);
           }
   ```
   
   So my first concern is that perhaps it should get its own semaphore to not 
mixup refresh and reload? We can control using `max.parallel.reload.threads` 
just like we are doing `max.parallel.refresh.threads` for refresh.
   
   Second concern is that we're trying to parallelise the actual reloading of 
segments in `reloadAllSegments` which currently is sequential. As you proposed, 
the parallelism factor can be a part of the `SegmentReloadMessage` but how will 
the user configure it? Are we planning to add a new configuration?
