// receive any more samples. Append will still work but might lead to
// undue resource usage. It is recommended to call NeedsThrottling once
// before an upcoming batch of Append calls (e.g. a full scrape of a
// target or the evaluation of a rule group) and only proceed with the
// batch if NeedsThrottling returns false. In that way, the result of a
// scrape or of an evaluation of a rule group will always be appended
// completely or not at all, and the work of scraping or evaluation will
// not be performed in vain. Also, a call of NeedsThrottling is
// potentially expensive, so limiting the number of calls is reasonable.
//
// Only SampleAppenders for which it is considered critical to receive
// each and every sample should ever return true. SampleAppenders that
// tolerate not receiving all samples should always return false and
// instead drop samples as they see fit to avoid overload.
