Hi guys, I would appreciate any feedback about the idea of implementing a new load function to ask about how saturated is your reactor. I have a proof of concept [1] of how the load function might be implemented in the Asyncio python loop. The idea is to provide a method that can be used to ask about the load of the reactor in a specific time, this implementation returns the load taking into account the last 60 seconds but it can easily return the 5m and 15minutes ones u others. This method can help services built on to of Asyncio to implement back pressure mechanisms that take into account a metric coming from the loop, instead of inferring the load using other metrics provided by external agents such as the CPU, load average u others. Nowadays exists some alternatives for other languages that address this situation using the lag of a scheduler callback, produced by saturated reactors. The most known implementation is toobusy [2] a nodejs implementation. IMHO the solution provided by tobusy has a strong dependency with the hardware needing to tune the maximum lag allowed in terms of milliseconds [3]. in the POF presented the user can use an exact value meaning the percentage of the load, perhaps 0.9 Any comment would be appreciated.
