/* A token bucket is used to govern the maximum rate a series of events
can be executed at. For instance if your event was "eat a piece of cake"
then a token bucket configured to allow "1 piece per day" would spread
the eating of a 8 piece cake over 8 days even if you tried to eat the
whole thing up front. In a practical sense it 'costs' 1 token to execute
an event and tokens are 'earned' at a particular rate as time goes by.
The token bucket can be perfectly smooth or allow a configurable amount of
burstiness. A bursty token bucket allows you to save up unused credits, while
a perfectly smooth one would not. A smooth "1 per day" cake token bucket
would require 9 days to eat that cake if you skipped a slice on day 4
(use the token or lose it), while a token bucket configured with a burst
of 2 would just let you eat 2 slices on day 5 (the credits for day 4 and day
5) and finish the cake in the usual 8 days.
EventTokenBucket(hz=20, burst=5) creates a token bucket with the following
properties:
+ events from an infinite stream will be admitted 20 times per second (i.e.
hz=20 means 1 event per 50 ms). Timers will be used to space things evenly
down to 5ms gaps (i.e. up to 200hz). Token buckets with rates greater than
200hz will admit multiple events with 5ms gaps between them. 10000hz is the
maximum rate and 1hz is the minimum rate.
+ The burst size controls the limit of 'credits' that a token bucket can
accumulate when idle. For our (20,5) example each event requires 50ms of
credit (again, 20hz = 50ms per event). a burst size of 5 means that the
token bucket can accumulate a maximum of 250ms (5 * 50ms) for this bucket.
If no events have been admitted for the last full second the bucket can
still only accumulate 250ms of credit - but that credit means that 5 events
can be admitted without delay. A burst size of 1 is the minimum. The
EventTokenBucket is created with maximum credits already applied, but they
can be cleared with the ClearCredits() method. The maximum burst size is 15
minutes worth of events.
+ An event is submitted to the token bucket asynchronously through
SubmitEvent(). The OnTokenBucketAdmitted() method of the submitted event
is used as a callback when the event is ready to run. A cancelable event is
returned to the SubmitEvent() caller for use in the case they do not wish
to wait for the callback.
