Thanks Jake. All of your feedback is super helpful. I would love to get your 
take on a few of my responses below. General take away:  more documentation 
around config and some of the subtler pieces of logic would be helpful.

Nope. Good call. Will fix this to say container.

True - a segment tree would be a clear win if we were managing a larger number 
of intervals. I think the approach here is simpler (less LoC anyway) and I'm 
expecting a small number of ranges - e.g. 2 or 3 at most. Otherwise reasoning 
about it is going to be difficult.

percentage of quota. I'll expand on the doc to make this clearer.

Sorry you had difficulty working through this. That is a clear indication that 
the documentation is insufficient. It helps to have a fresh pair of eyes after 
looking at this on and off for a while.

I do want to have clear docs on this that we can eventually move to the config 
table, but I don't want to publish to the config table until we're "GA" with 
the featue.

To address your questions:

1. Percentages are disk quota remaining.
2. Watermarks ranges can overlap, but not in a way that would lead to 
ambiguity. If a sample drops below one or more low water marks then we take the 
work rate of the lowest water mark. If a sample rises above one or more high 
water marks then we set the work rate to the policy immediately above the 
maximum exceeded policy. This means that one range cannot entirely contain or 
equal another. I'd be happy to restrict to non-overlapping ranges entirely if 
it makes things clearer and we don't see an operational need for them.
3. None, there is no ambiguity about which rule to apply.

Having an interface for mapping remaining quota to work factor is reasonable.

BTW, I would also like to get Jon to review the configs as he is going to be 
the main consumer.

Yes, we should verify the lower bound. I put the check in the enforcer because 
I wanted to keep all of the checks in one place, but I can see your argument 
for moving them here. I'll do the upper / lower bounds and their relation 
checks here and do the overlapping range checks in the enforcer. Will also add 
some additional tests :).

Sorry, this logic must be a bit to clever - at least a comment in the code is 
warranted. General back story: I would love to drop the whole pendingNanos 
thing and just say "a little error is not going to kill anything". The reason 
pendingNanos exists is that the best precision the JVM can muster for sleep is 
1ms. So we need to accumulate enough to get that first sleep.

We're adding to the pendingNanos here, but we are reducing them a few lines 
down in the sleep call. The sleep call is returning the amount of error on the 
sleep (which may be negative). Previously I actually measured the error here 
instead of in the sleep call and did the decrement inline. I'm not wed to doing 
it in the sleep call - I moved it there because it made the HighResClock a 
little nicer for other potential use cases that would need to do the same. I'd 
be interested in your perspective on one of these or an alternative approach. 
Given the confusion, at least a comment in the code is warranted.
