Please could someone explain to me what the
burst
paramater means in
Copy code
core:
    propeller:
      kube-client-config:
        qps: 100
        burst: 25
        timeout: 30s
I've been unable to find any documentation about it.

this is kube client, this implements token bucket algorithm, with a potential to burst every second

Thanks. I have never heard of the token bucket algorithm before. Probably the Wikipedia page can answer what it is 🙂.

Thanks. I just didn't understand what the max burst rate meant. I think I understand it now. It would be nice to mention the token bucket algorithm in the docs 🙂.
