Conceptually, a rate limiter distributes permits at a configurable rate. Each 038 * {@link #acquire()} blocks if necessary until a permit is available, and then takes it. Once 039 * acquired, permits need not be released. 040 * 041 * <p>{@code RateLimiter} is safe for concurrent use: It will restrict the total rate of calls from 042 * all threads. Note, however, that it does not guarantee fairness. 043 * 044 * <p>Rate limiters are often used to restrict the rate at which some physical or logical resource 045 * is accessed. This is in contrast to {@link java.util.concurrent.Semaphore} which restricts the 046 * number of concurrent accesses instead of the rate (note though that concurrency and rate are 047 * closely related, e.g. see <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little%27s_law">Little's 048 * Law</a>). 049 * 050 * <p>A {@code RateLimiter} is defined primarily by the rate at which permits are issued. Absent 051 * additional configuration, permits will be distributed at a fixed rate, defined in terms of 052 * permits per second. Permits will be distributed smoothly, with the delay between individual 053 * permits being adjusted to ensure that the configured rate is maintained. 054 * 055 * <p>It is possible to configure a {@code RateLimiter} to have a warmup period during which time 056 * the permits issued each second steadily increases until it hits the stable rate. 057 * 058 * <p>As an example, imagine that we have a list of tasks to execute, but we don't want to submit 059 * more than 2 per second: 060 * 061 * <pre>{@code 062 * final RateLimiter rateLimiter = RateLimiter.create(2.0); // rate is "2 permits per second" 063 * void submitTasks(List<Runnable> tasks, Executor executor) { 064 * for (Runnable task : tasks) { 065 * rateLimiter.acquire(); // may wait 066 * executor.execute(task); 067 * } 068 * } 069 * }</pre> 070 * 071 * <p>As another example, imagine that we produce a stream of data, and we want to cap it at 5kb per 072 * second. This could be accomplished by requiring a permit per byte, and specifying a rate of 5000 073 * permits per second: 074 * 075 * <pre>{@code 076 * final RateLimiter rateLimiter = RateLimiter.create(5000.0); // rate = 5000 permits per second 077 * void submitPacket(byte[] packet) { 078 * rateLimiter.acquire(packet.length); 079 * networkService.send(packet); 080 * } 081 * }</pre> 082 * 083 * <p>It is important to note that the number of permits requested <i>never</i> affects the 084 * throttling of the request itself (an invocation to {@code acquire(1)} and an invocation to {@code 085 * acquire(1000)} will result in exactly the same throttling, if any), but it affects the throttling 086 * of the <i>next</i> request. I.e., if an expensive task arrives at an idle RateLimiter, it will be 087 * granted immediately, but it is the <i>next</i> request that will experience extra throttling, 088 * thus paying for the cost of the expensive task. 089 * 090 * @author Dimitris Andreou 091 * @since 13.0 092 */ 093// TODO(user): switch to nano precision.
