/**
* A rate limiter. Conceptually, a rate limiter distributes permits at a configurable rate. Each
* {@link #acquire()} blocks if necessary until a permit is available, and then takes it. Once
* acquired, permits need not be released.
*
* Rate limiters are often used to restrict the rate at which some physical or logical resource
* is accessed. This is in contrast to {@link java.util.concurrent.Semaphore} which restricts the
* number of concurrent accesses instead of the rate (note though that concurrency and rate are
* closely related, e.g. see Little's
* Law).
*
*
A {@code RateLimiter} is defined primarily by the rate at which permits are issued. Absent
* additional configuration, permits will be distributed at a fixed rate, defined in terms of
* permits per second. Permits will be distributed smoothly, with the delay between individual
* permits being adjusted to ensure that the configured rate is maintained.
*
*
It is possible to configure a {@code RateLimiter} to have a warmup period during which time
* the permits issued each second steadily increases until it hits the stable rate.
*
*
As an example, imagine that we have a list of tasks to execute, but we don't want to submit
* more than 2 per second:
{@code
* final RateLimiter rateLimiter = RateLimiter.create(2.0); // rate is "2 permits per second"
* void submitTasks(List tasks, Executor executor) {
* for (Runnable task : tasks) {
* rateLimiter.acquire(); // may wait
* executor.execute(task);
* }
* }}
*
* As another example, imagine that we produce a stream of data, and we want to cap it at 5kb per
* second. This could be accomplished by requiring a permit per byte, and specifying a rate of 5000
* permits per second:
{@code
* final RateLimiter rateLimiter = RateLimiter.create(5000.0); // rate = 5000 permits per second
* void submitPacket(byte[] packet) {
* rateLimiter.acquire(packet.length);
* networkService.send(packet);
* }}
*
* It is important to note that the number of permits requested never affects the
* throttling of the request itself (an invocation to {@code acquire(1)} and an invocation to
* {@code acquire(1000)} will result in exactly the same throttling, if any), but it affects the
* throttling of the next request. I.e., if an expensive task arrives at an idle RateLimiter,
* it will be granted immediately, but it is the next request that will experience extra
* throttling, thus paying for the cost of the expensive task.
*
*
Note: {@code RateLimiter} does not provide fairness guarantees.
