Types

type Limiter

type Limiter interface {
	// The Limit() method works kinda like an 8 ball. You pass it
	// the time of an event, and it returns one of Yes, No, or
	// "Later". A zero return value means "Yes", the event should
	// be acted upon right away. A negative return value means
	// "No", do nothing, and a positive return value means to
	// check back after the returned delay.
	//
	// The order that this is invoked is important, and it is
	// expected that this is invoked with a monotonically
	// increasing set of timestamps. Typically this will be
	// invoked when an event is generated and will be the result
	// of time.Now(), but for testing or other cases, this could
	// be invoked with any set of historic or future timestamps so
	// long as they are invoked in monotonically increasing order.
	//
	// The result of this (when positive) is always relative to
	// the passed in time. In other words to compute a deadline
	// rather than a delay, you should take the result of Limit()
	// and add it to whatever value you passed in:
	//
	//   deadline = now + Limit(now).
	//
	Limit(now time.Time) time.Duration
}

A limiter can be used to rate limit and/or coalesce a series of time-based events. This interface captures the logic of deciding what action should be taken when an event occurs at a specific time T. The possible actions are act upon the event, do nothing, or check back after a specific delay.
