Class RateLimiter

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.lucene.store.RateLimiter

public class RateLimiter
extends Object

Simple class to rate limit IO. Typically it's shared across multiple IndexInputs or IndexOutputs (for example those involved all merging). Those IndexInputs and IndexOutputs would call pause(long) whenever they want to read bytes or write bytes.

Constructor Summary

RateLimiter(double mbPerSec)
mbPerSec is the MB/sec max IO rate

Method Summary

double	getMbPerSec() The current mb per second rate limit.
void	pause(long bytes) Pauses, if necessary, to keep the instantaneous IO rate at or below the target.
void	setMbPerSec(double mbPerSec) Sets an updated mb per second rate limit.

Constructor Detail

RateLimiter

public RateLimiter(double mbPerSec)

mbPerSec is the MB/sec max IO rate

Method Detail

setMbPerSec

public void setMbPerSec(double mbPerSec)

Sets an updated mb per second rate limit.

getMbPerSec

public double getMbPerSec()

The current mb per second rate limit.

pause

public void pause(long bytes)

Pauses, if necessary, to keep the instantaneous IO rate at or below the target. NOTE: multiple threads may safely use this, however the implementation is not perfectly thread safe but likely in practice this is harmless (just means in some rare cases the rate might exceed the target). It's best to call this with a biggish count, not one byte at a time.
