>
> Currently we have an exponential back-off policy in COPY FROM that kicks in
> when timeouts are received. However there are two limitations:
> * it does not cover new requests and therefore we may not back-off
> sufficiently to give time to an overloaded server to recover
> * the pause is performed in the receiving thread and therefore we may not
> process server messages quickly enough
> There is a static throttling mechanism in rows per second from feeder to
> worker processes (the INGESTRATE) but the feeder has no idea of the load of
> each worker process. However it's easy to keep track of how many chunks a
> worker process has yet to read by introducing a bounded semaphore.
> The idea is to move the back-off pauses to the worker processes main thread
> so as to include all messages, new and retries, not just the retries that
> timed out. The worker process will not read new chunks during the back-off
> pauses, and the feeder process can then look at the number of pending chunks
> before sending new chunks to a worker process.
