Research direction

Start by locating the InflightLimiter implementation and its JCTools dependency, then inspect the current adapter-based module boundaries. Done means InflightLimiter is available from an independent module and its potential use in resilience4j-reactor has been addressed.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

InflightLimiter is a generic Reactive operator for limiting the number of concurrent elements in progress. It is used in the current adapter based implementation to achieve asynchronous non-blocking backpressure. The InflightLimiter implementation depends on JCTools library which provides a high performance queue implementation that is used in the solution.
It would be useful to move InflightLimiter to an independent module so that it could be used on its own. Contributing InflightLimiter to resilience4j-reactor would be useful too.
