Takes the client-side throttling code introduced in #39021 and adds it into the remote inference base classes.

Part of #36253

Summary of Changes

Hello, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request introduces client-side throttling to the Java Remote Inference framework. By leveraging the existing ReactiveThrottler component, the changes ensure that remote inference requests are managed more robustly, preventing potential service overload by applying preemptive throttling based on request success and failure patterns.

Highlights

  • Client-Side Throttling Integration: Integrated the ReactiveThrottler into the RemoteInference base classes to provide preemptive client-side throttling.
  • Configuration Support: Added a new configuration option, throttleDelaySecs, to the RemoteInference API to allow users to customize the throttling delay.
  • Testing and Validation: Implemented a new test case with a MockThrottlingHandler to verify that client-side throttling triggers correctly under failure conditions.

Code Review

This pull request integrates client-side reactive throttling into the RemoteInference transform. It adds a dependency on the :sdks:java:io:components project to utilize ReactiveThrottler, introduces a configurable throttling delay parameter (throttleDelaySecs), and wraps the remote model request execution with throttling logic. A new unit test and mock handler have also been added to verify that throttling is triggered and that the corresponding metrics are correctly recorded. There are no review comments, so I have no feedback to provide.

Important

The consumer version of Gemini Code Assist on GitHub is being sunset. Starting June 18, 2026, new organization installations will be blocked, and all code review activity will officially cease on July 17, 2026.
For more details on the timeline and next steps, please review the Help Documentation.

Code Review

This pull request integrates client-side throttling into the RemoteInference framework using ReactiveThrottler, introducing configuration options for throttling delay, sample period, sample update interval, and overload ratio, along with a new unit test to verify throttling behavior. The review feedback suggests several important improvements to ensure robustness: adding a null check for modelHandler to prevent potential NullPointerExceptions, validating throttling parameters in the builder methods to catch configuration errors early, using AtomicInteger in the mock handler to avoid race conditions during concurrent test execution, and checking both attempted and committed metrics to prevent test flakiness across different runners.

To prevent potential race conditions and flaky test failures when multiple threads execute the pipeline concurrently, we should make MockThrottlingHandler thread-safe by using AtomicInteger instead of a plain int for requestCount.

    private final java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicInteger requestCount =
        new java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicInteger(0);

    @Override
    public void createClient(TestParameters parameters) {}

    @Override
    public Iterable<PredictionResult<TestInput, TestOutput>> request(List<TestInput> input) {
      int count = requestCount.incrementAndGet();
      // Fail 2 out of 3 requests. RetryHandler defaults to 3 max retries,
      // so the 3rd attempt will succeed, avoiding pipeline failure while
      // accumulating enough failures to trigger client-side throttling.
      if (count % 3 != 0) {
        throw new RuntimeException("Intentional failure to trigger throttling");
      }
      return input.stream()
          .map(i -> PredictionResult.create(i, new TestOutput("processed-" + i.getModelInput())))
          .collect(Collectors.toList());
    }
