Some responses to Jay's points.

1. Using commas - Cool.

2. Adding return flag - I'm inclined to agree with Joel that this is good to 
have in the initial implementation. 

3. Config - +1. I'll remove it from the KIP. We can discuss this in parallel.

4. Purgatory vs Delay queue - I feel that it is simpler to reuse the existing 
purgatories for both delayed produce and fetch requests. IIUC, all we need for 
quotas is a minWait parameter for DelayedOperation (or something equivalent) 
since there is already a max wait. The completion criteria can check if minWait 
time has elapsed before declaring the operation complete. For this to impact 
performance, a significant number of clients may need to exceed their quota at 
the same time and even then I'm not very clear on the scope of the impact. Two 
layers of delays might add complexity to the implementation which I'm hoping to 
avoid.

Aditya, thanks for the updated KIP and Jay/Jun thanks for the
comments. Couple of comments in-line:

I'm somewhat inclined to having something appropriate off the bat -
mainly because (i) clients really should know that they have been
throttled (ii) a smart producer/consumer implementation would want to
know how much to back off. So perhaps this and config-management
should be moved to a separate discussion, but it would be good to have
this discussion going and incorporated into the first quota
implementation.

+1 - it is definitely orthogonal to the core quota implementation
(although necessary for its operability). Having a config-related
discussion in this KIP would only draw out the discussion and vote
even if the core quota design looks good to everyone.

So basically I think we can remove the portions on dynamic config as
well as the response format but I really think we should close on
those while the implementation is in progress and before quotas is
officially released.

A simple delay queue sounds good - I think Aditya was also trying to
avoid adding a new quota purgatory. i.e., it may be possible to use
the existing purgatory instances to enforce quotas. That may be
simpler, but would be incur a slight perf penalty if too many clients
are being throttled.

Thanks,

Joel
