/**
 * Represents the batching settings to use for an API method that is capable of batching.
 *
 * Warning: With the wrong settings, it is possible to cause long periods of dead waiting time.
 *
 * 
When batching is turned on for an API method, a call to that method will result in the request
 * being queued up with other requests. When any of the set thresholds are reached, the queued up
 * requests are packaged together in a batch and set to the service as a single RPC. When the
 * response comes back, it is split apart into individual responses according to the individual
 * input requests.
 *
 * 
There are several supported thresholds:
 *
 * 

 *   Delay Threshold: Counting from the time that the first message is queued, once this
 *       delay has passed, then send the batch.
 *   
Message Count Threshold: Once this many messages are queued, send all of the
 *       messages in a single call, even if the delay threshold hasn't elapsed yet.
 *   
Request Byte Threshold: Once the number of bytes in the batched request reaches this
 *       threshold, send all of the messages in a single call, even if neither the delay or message
 *       count thresholds have been exceeded yet.
 * 
 *
 * These thresholds are treated as triggers, not as limits. Thus, if a request is made with 2x
 * the message count threshold, it will not be split apart (unless one of the limits listed further
 * down is crossed); only one batch will be sent. Each threshold is an independent trigger and
 * doesn't have any knowledge of the other thresholds.
 *
 * 
Two of the values above also have limits:
 *
 * 

 *   Message Count Limit: The limit of the number of messages that the server will accept
 *       in a single request.
 *   
Request Byte Limit: The limit of the byte size of a request that the server will
 *       accept.
 * 
 *
 * For these values, individual requests that surpass the limit are rejected, and the batching
 * logic will not batch together requests if the resulting batch will surpass the limit. Thus, a
 * batch can be sent that is actually under the threshold if the next request would put the combined
 * request over the limit.
 *
 * Batching also supports FlowControl. This can be used to prevent the batching implementation
 * from accumulating messages without limit, resulting eventually in an OutOfMemory exception. This
 * can occur if messages are created and added to batching faster than they can be processed. The
 * flow control behavior is controlled using FlowControlSettings.
