> Heron proposed a form of back pressure that does not rely on acking or max
> spout pending. Instead spouts throttle not only when max.spout.pending is
> hit, but also if any bolt has gone over a high water mark in their input
> queue, and has not yet gone below a low water mark again. There is a lot of
> room for potential improvement here around control theory and having spouts
> only respond to downstream bolts backing up, but a simple bang-bang
> controller like this is a great start.
