Thomas Weise commented on APEXCORE-570:
---------------------------------------

>From the JIRA description, this sounds like a combination of backpressure with 
>configurable limit on the queue. For the intra-process case the queue capacity 
>can be set. For buffer server, it will spill over to disk, hence the upstream 
>operator will produce at the speed of spooling. Are you thinking of a capacity 
>limit here?


> Prevent upstream operators from getting too far ahead when downstream 
> operators are slow

> If the downstream operators are slower than upstream operators then the 
> upstream operators will get ahead and the gap can continue to increase. 
> Provide an option to slow down or temporarily pause the upstream operators 
> when they get too far ahead.
