Any way to set time interval between HTTP requests in HTTPCaller transformer?

Hi! I am using HTTPCaller transformer to repeatly send many http requests to a remote server for some task. By observation I found that HTTPCaller sends the next request right after receiving the response for the current request. This may significant increase the load of the remote HTTP server.

Is there a way to let the HTTPCaller wait for a couple seconds after receiving the response before sending the next request?

Thank you!

Hi @sui_huang

Do you have a feature for each request entering the HTTPCaller?

If so, you can add a decellerator transformer beforehand to slow the features down.
