Rate Limiting
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
Rate limiting in swift is implemented as a pluggable middleware. Rate
|
|
limiting is performed on requests that result in database writes to the
|
|
account and container sqlite dbs. It uses memcached and is dependent on
|
|
the proxy servers having highly synchronized time. The rate limits are
|
|
limited by the accuracy of the proxy server clocks.
|
|
|
|

|
Configuration
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
All configuration is optional. If no account or container limits are provided
|
|
there will be no rate limiting. Configuration available:
|
|

Option Default Description

|
------------------------ --------- -------------------------------------------
|
|
clock_accuracy 1000 Represents how accurate the proxy servers'
|
|
system clocks are with each other. 1000
|
|
means that all the proxies' clock are
|
|
accurate to each other within 1
|
|
millisecond. No ratelimit should be
|
|
higher than the clock accuracy.
|
|
max_sleep_time_seconds 60 App will immediately return a 498 response
|
|
if the necessary sleep time ever exceeds
|
|
the given max_sleep_time_seconds.
|
|
log_sleep_time_seconds 0 To allow visibility into rate limiting set
|
|
this value > 0 and all sleeps greater than
|
|
the number will be logged.
|
|
account_ratelimit 0 If set, will limit all requests to
|
|
/account_name and PUTs to
|
|
/account_name/container_name. Number is in
|
|
requests per second
|
|
account_whitelist '' Comma separated lists of account names that
|
|
will not be rate limited.
|
|
account_blacklist '' Comma separated lists of account names that
|
|
will not be allowed. Returns a 497 response.
|
|
container_ratelimit_size '' When set with container_limit_x = r:
|
|
for containers of size x, limit requests
|
|
per second to r. Will limit GET and HEAD
|
|
requests to /account_name/container_name
|
|
and PUTs and DELETEs to
|
|
/account_name/container_name/object_name
|
|
======================== ========= ===========================================
|
|
|
|
The container rate limits are linearly interpolated from the values given. A
|
|
sample container rate limiting could be:
|
|
|
|
container_ratelimit_100 = 100
|
|
|
|
container_ratelimit_200 = 50
|
|
|
|
container_ratelimit_500 = 20
|
|
|
|
This would result in
