Is there a way to suspend a spout for a pre-determined period of time from
within that spout or an attached bolt?
As an example, assume that in your Topology you have a bolt retrieving data
from Twitter's api, but you get rate limited. To me the obvious solution is
to somehow suspend the spout for a period of time and then resume
processing. Is that possible?

If that cannot be accomplished with the current architecture, are there any
other facilities in storm to handle a problem like this?

Thanks very much!
