If a large number of read + requests fail to match the cache, the Storage becomes too busy and cannot work properly. Use message dispatch + throttling makes Pulsar work steadily by keeping Storage's read request load stable. +* An instance of 'Broker' serves multiple topics at the same time, and if a topic is too busy, it will occupy + almost all of the IO resources, other topics will not work well. Use message dispatch throttling can balance + the allocation of resources to agents across topics. +* There have large backlog of messages to consume, clients may receive a large amount of data in a short period of time, + thus monopolizing the client computer resources. Message dispatch throttling can also be used to balance the resource + allocation of the client computer. + +### Concepts of message dispatch throttling +- `ratePeriodInSecond` The unit of the rate limiting period is second. The default is 1s. +- `dispatchThrottlingRateInMsg` Specifies the maximum number of messages to be delivered in each rate limiting period. + The default is' -1 ', which means no limit. +- `dispatchThrottlingRateInByte` The maximum number of bytes of messages delivered per rate-limiting period. The default + is' -1 ', which means no limit. + +> If set ` dispatchThrottlingRateInMsg` and ` dispatchThrottlingRateInByte` both, then the message delivery is required +> at the same time satisfy the rules of the two, in other words the two rules are not mutually exclusive. + +### How it works +Message dispatch throttling works divided into these steps: +1. Calculate the number of messages or bytes to be delivered. +2. Estimate the amount of data to be read from the Storage (This estimate logic is not accurate, as described below). +3. Update the counter of message dispatch throttling. +4. Actually deliver the message to the client. + +> If the quota in the current rate limiting period is not used up, the quota will not be used in the next rate limiting +> period. However, if the quota in the current rate limiting period is exceeded, the quota in the next rate limiting +> period is reduced. For example, if the rate-limiting rule is set to `10 /s`, `11` messages are delivered to the client +> in the first rate-limiting period,`9` messages will be delivered to the client in the next rate-limiting period. + +#### Estimate the amount of data to be read from the Storage +Messages is stored in blocks. If batch-send is not enabled, each message is packaged into an independent data block.And +if batch-send is enabled, a batch of messages are packaged into one data block, then we can not determine the true count +of messages in one data block; We also cannot determine the true size of this data block until we have actually read the +it from Storage.So in order to satisfy the constraints `dispatchThrottlingRateInMsg` and `dispatchThrottlingRateInByte`, +requires a mechanism to estimate how much need to read a data block. + +> If enabled the feature ` dispatchThrottlingOnBatchMessageEnabled`, instead of counting by message, we're counting +> by blocks of data. + +When delivering a message to the client, the Broker looks at the size and number of messages per data block, calculates +an average and caches it in memory, using this average to estimate how many data blocks to be read. What if there is no +estimated value in memory when the first reading of a new topic? The current workaround is that just delivers one data +block to clients if it is the first delivery of a new topic. Of course, the broker does not store all the information +of data blocks for a long time to process the average accurately, which would waste memory. Instead, a compromise +algorithm 'avg = (history-avg * 0.9 + new-avg * 0.1)' is used. + +### Only three granularity supports +- Throttling limit per broker: Often applied to overload protection of broker or storage.
