Java Executor with throttling/throughput control

Question

I\'m looking for a Java Executor that allows me to specify throttling/throughput/pacing limitations, for example, no more than say 100 tasks can be processed in a second --

Answer 1

Depending on the scenario, and as suggested in one of the previous responses, the basic functionalities of a ThreadPoolExecutor may do the trick.

But if the threadpool is shared by multiple clients and you want to throttle, to restrict the usage of each one of them, making sure that one client won't use all the threads, then a BoundedExecutor will do the work.

More details can be found in the following example:
