NAME

Sub::Throttler::Rate::AnyEvent - throttle by rate (quantity per time)

VERSION

This document describes Sub::Throttler::Rate::AnyEvent version v0.2.10

SYNOPSIS

    use Sub::Throttler::Rate::AnyEvent;
    
    # default limit=1, period=1
    my $throttle = Sub::Throttler::Rate::AnyEvent->new(period => 0.1, limit => 42);
    
    my $limit = $throttle->limit;
    $throttle->limit(42);
    my $period = $throttle->period;
    $throttle->period(0.1);
    
    # --- Activate throttle for selected subrouties
    $throttle->apply_to_functions('Some::func', 'Other::func2', …);
    $throttle->apply_to_methods('Class', 'method', 'method2', …);
    $throttle->apply_to_methods($object, 'method', 'method2', …);
    $throttle->apply_to(sub {
      my ($this, $name, @params) = @_;
      ...
      return;   # OR
      return { key1=>$quantity1, ... };
    });
    
    # --- Manual resource management
    if ($throttle->try_acquire($id, $key, $quantity)) {
        ...
        $throttle->release($id);
        $throttle->release_unused($id);
    }

DESCRIPTION

This is a plugin for Sub::Throttler providing simple algorithm for throttling by rate (quantity per time) of used resources.

This algorithm works like Sub::Throttler::Limit with one difference: resources acquired earlier than given period value will be made available for acquiring again.

It uses AE::timer, but will avoid keeping your event loop running when it doesn't needed anymore (if there are no acquired resources).

For throttling sync subs this algorithm can be used even without event loop, but if you'll use huge amount of unique resource names in long-running application then some memory will leak.

EXPORTS

Nothing.

INTERFACE

Sub::Throttler::Rate::AnyEvent inherits all methods from Sub::Throttler::algo and implements the following ones.

new

    my $throttle = Sub::Throttler::Rate::AnyEvent->new;
    my $throttle = Sub::Throttler::Rate::AnyEvent->new(period => 0.1, limit => 42);

Create and return new instance of this algorithm.

Default period is 1.0, limit is 1.

See "new" in Sub::Throttler::algo for more details.

period

    my $period = $throttle->period;
    $throttle  = $throttle->period($period);

Get or modify current period.

limit

    my $limit = $throttle->limit;
    $throttle = $throttle->limit(42);

Get or modify current limit.

NOTE: After decreasing limit in some case maximum of limits used while current period may be used instead of current limit for next period.

load

    my $throttle = Sub::Throttler::Rate::AnyEvent->load($state);

Create and return new instance of this algorithm.

See "load" in Sub::Throttler::algo for more details.

save

    my $state = $throttle->save();

Return current state of algorithm needed to restore it using "load" after application restart.

See "save" in Sub::Throttler::algo for more details.
