So I've read through a couple of things about the Task Queue's Token- Bucket system, and I've taken a look at the wikipedia article to no avail, so forgive me if this question has been answered elsewhere:
What is the resolution of the clock that deposits tokens into the bucket for each queue? Is its minimum resolution "per second?" i.e. If I say, "I want my rate to be 10/s," are 10 tokens deposited into the bucket every second, or is one token added every 10th of a second? It seems like if the resolution is only per second, the rate is limited not only by the user's specification, but also by the bucket size... For example: If I have a specified rate of 50/s but a bucket size of 5 and the system deposits 50 tokens into the bucket every second, are the additional 45 just thrown away? Does my rate actually become 5/s? I'm specifically using the Java app engine, if there's a difference between the Task Queues in Python/Java. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
