Well, another thing you could look into is using a custom ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor for the throttler. You could use a BlockingQueue with a specific size (10 in your case), and any others that tried to get scheduled would through an exception. Then in the throttler config you would set 'callerRunsWhenRejected' == false so that an exception is thrown.
