> This new feature is aimed for automatic flow control through the topology DAG 
> since different components may have unmatched tuple processing speed. 
> Currently, the tuples may get dropped if the downstream components can not 
> process as quickly, thereby causing a waste of network bandwidth and 
> processing capability. In addition, it is difficult to tune the 
> max.spout.pending parameter for best backpressure performance. Therefore, an 
> automatic back pressure scheme is highly desirable.
> 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.
