-- This Lua script is a rate limiter for Redis using the token bucket algorithm. -- The script checks if a message should be rate-limited and updates the bucket status accordingly. -- Input keys: -- KEYS[1]: A prefix for the Redis keys, e.g., RL__ -- KEYS[2]: The current time in milliseconds -- KEYS[3]: The bucket leak rate (messages per millisecond) -- KEYS[4]: The maximum allowed burst -- KEYS[5]: The expiration time for a bucket -- KEYS[6]: The number of recipients for the message -- Redis keys used: -- l: Last hit (time in milliseconds) -- b: Current burst (number of tokens in the bucket) -- p: Pending messages (number of messages in processing) -- dr: Current dynamic rate multiplier (*10000) -- db: Current dynamic burst multiplier (*10000) -- Returns: -- An array containing: -- 1. if the message should be rate-limited or 0 if not -- 2. The current burst value after processing the message -- 3. The dynamic rate multiplier -- 4. The dynamic burst multiplier -- 5.
