Hi guys!

How do you throttle Flow in the latest Akka (2.4.6) ? I'd like to throttle 
Http client flow to limit number of requests to 3 requests per second. I 
found following example online but it's for old Akka and akka-streams ApI 
changed so much that I can't figure out how to rewrite it.

def throttled[T](rate: FiniteDuration): Flow[T, T] = {
  val tickSource: Source[Unit] = TickSource(rate, rate, () => ())
  val zip = Zip[T, Unit]
  val in = UndefinedSource[T]
  val out = UndefinedSink[T]
  PartialFlowGraph { implicit builder =>
    import FlowGraphImplicits._
    in ~> zip.left ~> Flow[(T, Unit)].map { case (t, _) => t } ~> out
    tickSource ~> zip.right
  }.toFlow(in, out)}

here is my best attempt so far

def throttleFlow[T](rate: FiniteDuration) = Flow.fromGraph(GraphDSL.create() { 
implicit builder =>
  import GraphDSL.Implicits._

  val ticker = Source.tick(rate, rate, Unit)

  val zip = builder.add(Zip[T, Unit.type])
  val map = Flow[(T, Unit.type)].map { case (value, _) => value }
  val messageExtractor = builder.add(map)

  val in = Inlet[T]("Req.in")
  val out = Outlet[T]("Req.out")

  out ~> zip.in0
  ticker ~> zip.in1
  zip.out ~> messageExtractor.in

  FlowShape.of(in, messageExtractor.out)})

it throws exception in my main flow though :) It looks like this

private val queueHttp = Source.queue[(HttpRequest, (Any, 
Promise[(Try[HttpResponse], Any)]))](1000, OverflowStrategy.backpressure)
  .via(throttleFlow(rate))
  .via(poolClientFlow)
  .mapAsync(4) {
    case (util.Success(resp), any) =>
      val strictFut = resp.entity.toStrict(5 seconds)
      strictFut.map(ent => (util.Success(resp.copy(entity = ent)), any))
    case other =>
      Future.successful(other)
  }
  .toMat(Sink.foreach({
    case (triedResp, (value: Any, p: Promise[(Try[HttpResponse], Any)])) =>
      p.success(triedResp -> value)
    case _ =>
      throw new RuntimeException()
  }))(Keep.left)
  .run

where poolClientFlow is 
Http()(system).cachedHostConnectionPool[Any](baseDomain)

Exception is:

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: requirement failed: The output 
port [Req.out] is not part of the underlying graph.
    at scala.Predef$.require(Predef.scala:219)
    at akka.stream.impl.StreamLayout$Module$class.wire(StreamLayout.scala:204)


It's totally confusing to me. How do I get connected inlet and outlet ? I 
thought Akka is supposed to connect them when I use my flow in .via() call.

Thanks!
