+/**
+ * A Semaphore, which in addition to the usual features has means to force 
more clients to get permits.
+ *
+ * Like any usual Semaphore, this implementation will give away at most 
`maxAllowed` permits when used the "usual" way.
+ * In addition to that, it also has a `forceAcquire` method which will push 
the Semaphore's remaining permits into a
+ * negative value. Getting permits using `tryAcquire` will only be possible 
once the permits value is in a positive
+ * state again.
+ *
+ * As this is (now) only used for the loadbalancer's scheduling, this does not 
implement the "whole" Java Semaphore's
+ * interface but only the methods needed.
+ *
+ * @param maxAllowed maximum number of permits given away by `tryAcquire`

 Review comment:
   As the comment indicates, this catches an integer overflow (overflowing 
numbers will become negative), so I'd say an exception is warranted.
