   Sure, I will broker changes details. 
   
   > Another thought, should we differentiate between cached vs uncached reads?
   we could bet set up for a much bigger amount of work later when we have to 
fetch it from bookies.
   
   Actually, there are two things here: if we are trying to protect broker's 
resources against a topic which is draining with much higher rate then it make 
sense to throttle overall msg-out-rate and consider both cached and uncached.
   However, it can put higher load on bookie later on because by the time next 
read comes, bookie might have discarded entries from the cache. But then to 
address this issue, broker needs visibility of bookie's caching. Broker also 
cache entry at managed-ledger but broker doesn't do caching if consumer has not 
caught up or consumer is draining backlog, and one of the need of throttling is 
for namespace which are draining backlog. so, I think we can throttle both kind 
of entries.?
   
   > though it's not clear to me whether the configured limit is per-topic (eg: 
shared across all subscriptions) or applied to each individual subscription
   
   Configuration per topic which will be shared across all the subscriptions 
and only reason is to put cap at the topic so, topic with many subscribers 
can't misuse the throttling and if it is needed then we can configure higher 
number of message-rate for the namespace.
   However, there is very low probability to have many subscribers. So, do you 
think individual subscribers can have separate quota would be better option?
   
   > I would say both should be allowed to apply.
   
   Actually, both CPU and n/w bandwidth are concerns while draining the 
backlog. Don't you think allowing both the policies may create unnecessary 
complexity because then it will be hard to decide which one should be kept as 
resource consumption is at runtime and can be varied broker to broker?
