 * - qty  (IN):  Sum of elements shared by all processes that will send data.
 * - numP (IN):  Size of the local group. If it is a children group, this parameter must correspond to using
 *               "MPI_Comm_size(comm)". For the parents is not always the size obtained from "comm".
 * - numO (IN):  Amount of processes in the remote group. For the parents is the target quantity of processes after the 
 *               resize, while for the children is the amount of parents.
 * - is_children_group (IN): Indicates wether this MPI rank is a children(TRUE) or a parent(FALSE).
 * - recv (OUT): Array where data will be written. A NULL value is allowed if the process is not going to receive data.
 *               process receives data and is NULL, the behaviour is undefined.
 * - s_counts (OUT): Struct where is indicated how many elements sends this process to processes in the new group.
 * - r_counts (OUT): Struct where is indicated how many elements receives this process from other processes in the previous group.
