KIP-13 — Quota Design
Accepted BrokerAdmin
Introduces per-client produce and consume bandwidth quotas enforced by the broker, with throttle time reported back via `ThrottleTimeMs` fields in Fetch and Produce responses. Without quotas, a single producer or consumer can monopolize broker I/O and network capacity, causing latency spikes and resource starvation for all other clients sharing the cluster.
