Conceptually, a rate limiter distributes permits at a configurable rate. Each 039 * {@link #acquire()} blocks if necessary until a permit is available, and then takes it. Once 040 * acquired, permits need not be released. 041 * 042 * <p>{@code RateLimiter} is safe for concurrent use: It will restrict the total rate of calls from 043 * all threads. Note, however, that it does not guarantee fairness. 044 * 045 * <p>Rate limiters are often used to restrict the rate at which some physical or logical resource 046 * is accessed. This is in contrast to {@link java.util.concurrent.Semaphore} which restricts the 047 * number of concurrent accesses instead of the rate (note though that concurrency and rate are 048 * closely related, e.g. see <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little%27s_law">Little's 049 * Law</a>). 050 * 051 * <p>A {@code RateLimiter} is defined primarily by the rate at which permits are issued. Absent 052 * additional configuration, permits will be distributed at a fixed rate, defined in terms of 053 * permits per second. Permits will be distributed smoothly, with the delay between individual 054 * permits being adjusted to ensure that the configured rate is maintained. 055 * 056 * <p>It is possible to configure a {@code RateLimiter} to have a warmup period during which time 057 * the permits issued each second steadily increases until it hits the stable rate. 058 * 059 * <p>As an example, imagine that we have a list of tasks to execute, but we don't want to submit 060 * more than 2 per second: 061 * 062 * <pre>{@code 063 * final RateLimiter rateLimiter = RateLimiter.create(2.0); // rate is "2 permits per second" 064 * void submitTasks(List<Runnable> tasks, Executor executor) { 065 * for (Runnable task : tasks) { 066 * rateLimiter.acquire(); // may wait 067 * executor.execute(task); 068 * } 069 * } 070 * }</pre> 071 * 072 * <p>As another example, imagine that we produce a stream of data, and we want to cap it at 5kb per 073 * second. This could be accomplished by requiring a permit per byte, and specifying a rate of 5000 074 * permits per second: 075 * 076 * <pre>{@code 077 * final RateLimiter rateLimiter = RateLimiter.create(5000.0); // rate = 5000 permits per second 078 * void submitPacket(byte[] packet) { 079 * rateLimiter.acquire(packet.length); 080 * networkService.send(packet); 081 * } 082 * }</pre> 083 * 084 * <p>It is important to note that the number of permits requested <i>never</i> affects the 085 * throttling of the request itself (an invocation to {@code acquire(1)} and an invocation to {@code 086 * acquire(1000)} will result in exactly the same throttling, if any), but it affects the throttling 087 * of the <i>next</i> request. I.e., if an expensive task arrives at an idle RateLimiter, it will be 088 * granted immediately, but it is the <i>next</i> request that will experience extra throttling, 089 * thus paying for the cost of the expensive task. 090 * 091 * @author Dimitris Andreou 092 * @since 13.0 093 */ 094// TODO(user): switch to nano precision.
