问题
I downloaded AutoScale from http://blog.maartenballiauw.be/post/2011/03/21/Windows-Azure-and-scaling-how-(NET).aspx and followed the instructions there. I added it as reference to my existing azure project. But I am not sure what exactly I should pass as the user defined parameters for the 6 parameters required for auto scale.
I want to only change the instance count of my worker role depending on the number of documents to be processed.

Those parameters are all from the management API and the Silverlight Management UI
There are several more samples/tools for the Management API available - e.g. http://archive.msdn.microsoft.com/azurecmdlets/Wiki/View.aspx?title=Getting%20Started&version=1
There's also a commercial third party service available to assist - see paraleap.com
Maarten's tool has parameters:
Console.WriteLine(" AutoScale.exe <certificatefile> <subscriptionid> <servicename> <rolename> <slot> <instancecount>");
- To generate the certificate file, see the instructions from that cmdlet article or see the instructions in http://blogs.msdn.com/b/avkashchauhan/archive/2010/12/30/handling-issue-csmanage-cannot-establish-secure-connection-to-management-core-windows-net.aspx
- The subscription ID is available via the silverlight azure management UI
- the ServiceName and RoleName are what you choose when you create the service in the UI and when you create the role in code
- the Slot is "Production" or "Staging"
- the instanceCount is how many instances you want to run
