No I am not using Kafka. It is just basic python server. I want to calculate what is the nth percentile of size of my incoming request object over past one hour.

I don't want to store size of each request in memory. It will eat so much of my RAM.

Incoming traffic:

- 1st batch

--> 60 requests

---> size of 1st request is 10kb

---> size of 2nd request is 2kb

...

...

- 2nd batch

--> 10 requests

---> size of 1st request is 5kb

---> size of 2nd request is 8kb

...

- 100th batch

I am talking about percentile(10th, 50th, 95th) size of request.
