Immutable. The number of machine replicas used at the start of the batch
operation. If not set, Vertex AI decides starting number, not greater than
[max_replica_count][google.cloud.aiplatform.v1.BatchDedicatedResources.max_replica_count]

<code>int32 starting_replica_count = 2 [(.google.api.field_behavior) = IMMUTABLE];</code>

@param value The startingReplicaCount to set.
@return This builder for chaining.
