/**
* Allows plugins to enforce different types of quota.
*
* <p>Enforcing quotas can be helpful in many scenarios. For example:
*
* <ul>
* <li>Reducing the number of QPS a user can send to Gerrit on the REST API
* <li>Limiting the size of a repository (project)
* <li>Limiting the number of changes in a repository
* <li>Limiting the number of actions that have the potential for spam, abuse or flooding if not
* limited
* </ul>
*
* This endpoint gives plugins the capability to enforce any of these limits. The server will ask
* all plugins that registered this endpoint and collect all results. In case {@link
* #requestTokens(String, QuotaRequestContext, long)} was called and one or more plugins returned an
* erroneous result, the server will call {@link #refill(String, QuotaRequestContext, long)} on all
* plugins with the same parameters. Plugins that deducted tokens in the {@link
* #requestTokens(String, QuotaRequestContext, long)} call can refill them so that users don't get
* charged any quota for failed requests.
*
* <p>Not all implementations will need to deduct quota on {@link #requestTokens(String,
* QuotaRequestContext, long)}}. Implementations that work on top of instance-attributes, such as
* the number of projects per instance can choose not to keep any state and always check how many
* existing projects there are and if adding the inquired number would exceed the limit. In this
* case, {@link #requestTokens(String, QuotaRequestContext, long)} and {@link #dryRun(String,
* QuotaRequestContext, long)} share the same implementation and {@link #refill(String,
* QuotaRequestContext, long)} is a no-op.

* should be followed by a call to {@link #requestTokens(String, QuotaRequestContext, long)} with
* the number of tokens that were eventually used. It is in {@link QuotaBackend} callers
* discretion to ensure that {@link

* quota issues so that the user gets throttled).

* returned {@link QuotaResponse.Status#NO_OP}.
