+ * Minimal subset of google rate limiter class.
+ * Can be used to throttle use of object stores where excess load
+ * will trigger cluster-wide throttling, backoff etc. and so collapse
+ * performance.
+ * The time waited is returned as a Duration type.
+ * The google rate limiter implements this by allowing a caller to ask for
+ * more capacity than is available. This will be granted
+ * but the subsequent request will be blocked if the bucket of
+ * capacity hasn't let refilled to the point where there is
+ * capacity again.

Review comment:
       Time does it for us. we are acquiring IO capacity for that second. the 
next second, the same capacity is available.
