Helios::MetajobBurstService - base class for metajob burst services in Helios

Helios::MetajobBurstService is a subclass of Helios::Service specially tasked with bursting metajobs. You can subclass this class to provide special metajob bursters for your application. This allows you more fine grained control over the volume of jobs entering the Helios job queue.

A MetajobBurstService class supports one config parameter, burst_interval, which is the number of seconds between metajob bursts. This is to prevent the metajob bursting process from running so fast the Helios job queue is overwhelmed with burst jobs.
