/**
 * A rate limiter interface used by Samza components to limit throughput of operations
 * against a resource. Operations against a resource are represented by credits.
 * Resources could be streams, databases, web services, etc.
 *
 * <p>
 * This interface supports two categories of policies: tagged and non-tagged.
 * Tagged rate limiter is used, when further differentiation is required within a resource.
 * For example: messages in a stream may be treated differently depending on the
 * overall situation of processing; or read/write operations to a database.
 * Tagging is the mechanism to allow this differentiation.
 *
 * <p>
 * The following types of invocations are provided
 * <ul>
 *   <li>Block indefinitely until requested credits become available</li>
 *   <li>Block for a provided amount of time, then return available credits</li>
 * </ul>
