Controlling rate of writes about influxdb-client-go HOT 3 CLOSED

@kubaceg, write limiting is possible only in InfluxDB CLI. In fact, it controls reading rate, because conroling write could lead to buffer overflow.
So, you can control the rate by limit writes to this library.

Hi @vlastahajek. A buffer overflow can easily be avoided by blocking calls to the write functions once the buffer is full. In my opinion, that's the intuitive functionality of a library such as this, and it seems like common sense to me.

@awfm9, sure, this is the obvious way how to achieve that. As the library has two ways how to write data (sync and async), there is a couple of consequences:

• Sync write returns an error, but the user will have to distinguish true write errors and rejected writes
• Async write doesn't return an error

It seems to me that such a feature could be done by adding e.g. writeWithRate to both write APIs, which will return bool (and error in case of sync API), informing whether the write was accepted.
