RateLimiter

class RateLimiter extends AnyRef

Used to rate limit writes to, say, mongo. It's handy if the calling code can do bulk write operations through the limiter, which rate-limits how fast they happen.

Note you can disable the rate limiter by setting the frequency to 0.

The math is as follows (mod some conversions between seconds and nano-seconds):

After n samples, we can computer Ri as the "immediate rate" like:

Ri = (n-1) / (timestamp(n) - timestamp(0))

which is essentially the 1/average interval.

Given a target rate, Rt ("maxFreqHz"), we can compute it like:

Rt = n / (S + (timestamp(n) - timestamp(0))

S here is how long to sleep before we invoke the next operation. Solving for S:

S = n / Rt - (timestamp(n) - timestamp(0))
