I have an application that needs to send many http requests. However, I would like to bound the maximum number of outstanding requests.
The reason is that the requests are being sent to a service that is running in an AWS autoscaled environment. When there is a large increase in load, the environment will start additional instances. So, I would prefer that a sudden spike in demand remains queued in my application and not be turned into pending requests. https://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-core-ga/httpcore-nio/apidocs/org/apache/http/impl/nio/reactor/IOReactorConfig.Builder.html does not seem to have a parameter that would correspond to such a limit. I could implement this for myself by having a queue, and a thread that just sat pushing requests from the queue into the reactor, and stopped when it reached my limit of outstanding requests. Is my analysis plausible? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: httpclient-users-unsubscr...@hc.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: httpclient-users-h...@hc.apache.org
