Leaky Bucket Counter

This design pattern is a cornerstone of fault-tolerant programming and is also useful for resource-allocation issues. It tells you how to keep track of events and to take action only when the frequency of the events is larger than you're willing to allow.

Figure 23-2 shows the general principles of Leaky Bucket Counter. Error reports fill the bucket, while an allowable number of errors is deducted from the bucket constantly as it leaks. If the rate at which the bucket fills is larger than the leaking rate, an error is triggered.
