abstract class SmoothRateLimiter extends RateLimiter {
  /*
   * How is the RateLimiter designed, and why?
   *
   * The primary feature of a RateLimiter is its "stable rate", the maximum rate that is should
   * allow at normal conditions. This is enforced by "throttling" incoming requests as needed, i.e.
   * compute, for an incoming request, the appropriate throttle time, and make the calling thread
   * wait as much.
   *
   * The simplest way to maintain a rate of QPS is to keep the timestamp of the last granted
   * request, and ensure that (1/QPS) seconds have elapsed since then. For example, for a rate of
   * QPS=5 (5 tokens per second), if we ensure that a request isn't granted earlier than 200ms after
   * the last one, then we achieve the intended rate. If a request comes and the last request was
   * granted only 100ms ago, then we wait for another 100ms. At this rate, serving 15 fresh permits
   * (i.e. for an acquire(15) request) naturally takes 3 seconds.
   *
   * It is important to realize that such a RateLimiter has a very superficial memory of the past:
   * it only remembers the last request. What if the RateLimiter was unused for a long period of
   * time, then a request arrived and was immediately granted? This RateLimiter would immediately
   * forget about that past underutilization. This may result in either underutilization or
   * overflow, depending on the real world consequences of not using the expected rate.
   *
   * Past underutilization could mean that excess resources are available. Then, the RateLimiter
   * should speed up for a while, to take advantage of these resources. This is important when the
   * rate is applied to networking (limiting bandwidth), where past underutilization typically
   * translates to "almost empty buffers", which can be filled immediately.
   *
   * On the other hand, past underutilization could mean that "the server responsible for handling
   * the request has become less ready for future requests", i.e. its caches become stale, and
   * requests become more likely to trigger expensive operations (a more extreme case of this
   * example is when a server has just booted, and it is mostly busy with getting itself up to
   * speed).
   *
   * To deal with such scenarios, we add an extra dimension, that of "past underutilization",
   * modeled by "storedPermits" variable. This variable is zero when there is no underutilization,
   * and it can grow up to maxStoredPermits, for sufficiently large underutilization. So, the
   * requested permits, by an invocation acquire(permits), are served from:
   *
   * - stored permits (if available)
   *
   * - fresh permits (for any remaining permits)
   *
   * How this works is best explained with an example:
   *
   * For a RateLimiter that produces 1 token per second, every second that goes by with the
   * RateLimiter being unused, we increase storedPermits by 1. Say we leave the RateLimiter unused
   * for 10 seconds (i.e., we expected a request at time X, but we are at time X + 10 seconds before
   * a request actually arrives; this is also related to the point made in the last paragraph), thus
   * storedPermits becomes 10.0 (assuming maxStoredPermits >= 10.0). At that point, a request of
   * acquire(3) arrives. We serve this request out of storedPermits, and reduce that to 7.0 (how
   * this is translated to throttling time is discussed later). Immediately after, assume that an
   * acquire(10) request arriving. We serve the request partly from storedPermits, using all the
   * remaining 7.0 permits, and the remaining 3.0, we serve them by fresh permits produced by the
   * rate limiter.
   *
   * We already know how much time it takes to serve 3 fresh permits: if the rate is
   * "1 token per second", then this will take 3 seconds. But what does it mean to serve 7 stored
   * permits? As explained above, there is no unique answer. If we are primarily interested to deal
   * with underutilization, then we want stored permits to be given out /faster/ than fresh ones,
   * because underutilization = free resources for the taking. If we are primarily interested to
   * deal with overflow, then stored permits could be given out /slower/ than fresh ones. Thus, we
   * require a (different in each case) function that translates storedPermits to throttling time.
   *
   * This role is played by storedPermitsToWaitTime(double storedPermits, double permitsToTake). The
   * underlying model is a continuous function mapping storedPermits (from 0.0 to maxStoredPermits)
   * onto the 1/rate (i.e. intervals) that is effective at the given storedPermits. "storedPermits"
   * essentially measure unused time; we spend unused time buying/storing permits. Rate is
   * "permits / time", thus "1 / rate = time / permits". Thus, "1/rate" (time / permits) times
   * "permits" gives time, i.e., integrals on this function (which is what storedPermitsToWaitTime()
   * computes) correspond to minimum intervals between subsequent requests, for the specified number
   * of requested permits.
   *
   * Here is an example of storedPermitsToWaitTime: If storedPermits == 10.0, and we want 3 permits,
   * we take them from storedPermits, reducing them to 7.0, and compute the throttling for these as
   * a call to storedPermitsToWaitTime(storedPermits = 10.0, permitsToTake = 3.0), which will
   * evaluate the integral of the function from 7.0 to 10.0.
   *
   * Using integrals guarantees that the effect of a single acquire(3) is equivalent to {
   * acquire(1); acquire(1); acquire(1); }, or { acquire(2); acquire(1); }, etc, since the integral
   * of the function in [7.0, 10.0] is equivalent to the sum of the integrals of [7.0, 8.0], [8.0,
   * 9.0], [9.0, 10.0] (and so on), no matter what the function is. This guarantees that we handle
   * correctly requests of varying weight (permits), /no matter/ what the actual function is - so we
   * can tweak the latter freely. (The only requirement, obviously, is that we can compute its
   * integrals).
   *
   * Note well that if, for this function, we chose a horizontal line, at height of exactly (1/QPS),
   * then the effect of the function is non-existent: we serve storedPermits at exactly the same
   * cost as fresh ones (1/QPS is the cost for each). We use this trick later.
   *
   * If we pick a function that goes /below/ that horizontal line, it means that we reduce the area
   * of the function, thus time. Thus, the RateLimiter becomes /faster/ after a period of
   * underutilization. If, on the other hand, we pick a function that goes /above/ that horizontal
   * line, then it means that the area (time) is increased, thus storedPermits are more costly than
   * fresh permits, thus the RateLimiter becomes /slower/ after a period of underutilization.
   *
   * Last, but not least: consider a RateLimiter with rate of 1 permit per second, currently
   * completely unused, and an expensive acquire(100) request comes. It would be nonsensical to just
   * wait for 100 seconds, and /then/ start the actual task. Why wait without doing anything? A much
   * better approach is to /allow/ the request right away (as if it was an acquire(1) request
   * instead), and postpone /subsequent/ requests as needed. In this version, we allow starting the
   * task immediately, and postpone by 100 seconds future requests, thus we allow for work to get
   * done in the meantime instead of waiting idly.
   *
   * This has important consequences: it means that the RateLimiter doesn't remember the time of the
   * _last_ request, but it remembers the (expected) time of the _next_ request. This also enables
   * us to tell immediately (see tryAcquire(timeout)) whether a particular timeout is enough to get
   * us to the point of the next scheduling time, since we always maintain that. And what we mean by
   * "an unused RateLimiter" is also defined by that notion: when we observe that the
   * "expected arrival time of the next request" is actually in the past, then the difference (now -
   * past) is the amount of time that the RateLimiter was formally unused, and it is that amount of
   * time which we translate to storedPermits. (We increase storedPermits with the amount of permits
   * that would have been produced in that idle time). So, if rate == 1 permit per second, and
   * arrivals come exactly one second after the previous, then storedPermits is _never_ increased --
   * we would only increase it for arrivals _later_ than the expected one second.

   * 
* * Before going into the details of this particular function, let's keep in mind the basics: * *
    *
  1. The state of the RateLimiter (storedPermits) is a vertical line in this figure. *
  2. When the RateLimiter is not used, this goes right (up to maxPermits) *
  3. When the RateLimiter is used, this goes left (down to zero), since if we have * storedPermits, we serve from those first *
  4. When _unused_, we go right at a constant rate! The rate at which we move to the right is * chosen as maxPermits / warmupPeriod. This ensures that the time it takes to go from 0 to * maxPermits is equal to warmupPeriod. *
  5. When _used_, the time it takes, as explained in the introductory class note, is equal to * the integral of our function, between X permits and X-K permits, assuming we want to * spend K saved permits. *
* *

In summary, the time it takes to move to the left (spend K permits), is equal to the area of * the function of width == K. * *

Assuming we have saturated demand, the time to go from maxPermits to thresholdPermits is * equal to warmupPeriod. And the time to go from thresholdPermits to 0 is warmupPeriod/2. (The * reason that this is warmupPeriod/2 is to maintain the behavior of the original implementation * where coldFactor was hard coded as 3.) * *

It remains to calculate thresholdsPermits and maxPermits. * *

    *
  • The time to go from thresholdPermits to 0 is equal to the integral of the function * between 0 and thresholdPermits. This is thresholdPermits * stableIntervals. By (5) it is * also equal to warmupPeriod/2. Therefore *
    * thresholdPermits = 0.5 * warmupPeriod / stableInterval *
    *
  • The time to go from maxPermits to thresholdPermits is equal to the integral of the * function between thresholdPermits and maxPermits. This is the area of the pictured * trapezoid, and it is equal to 0.5 * (stableInterval + coldInterval) * (maxPermits - * thresholdPermits). It is also equal to warmupPeriod, so *
    * maxPermits = thresholdPermits + 2 * warmupPeriod / (stableInterval + coldInterval) *
