 ### Source.queue

 `Source.queue` can be used for emitting elements to a stream from an actor (or from anything running outside
 the stream). The elements will be buffered until the stream can process them. You can `offer` elements to

 Use overflow strategy `akka.stream.OverflowStrategy.backpressure` to avoid dropping of elements if the 
 buffer is full, instead the returned @scala[`Future`]@java[`CompletionStage`] does not complete until there is space in the
 buffer and `offer` should not be called again until it completes.

+You could combine it with the @ref[`throttle`](operators/Source-or-Flow/throttle.md) operator is used to slow down the stream to `5 element` per `3 seconds` and other patterns.

 `SourceQueue.offer` returns @scala[`Future[QueueOfferResult]`]@java[`CompletionStage<QueueOfferResult>`] which completes with `QueueOfferResult.Enqueued`
 if element was added to buffer or sent downstream. It completes with `QueueOfferResult.Dropped` if element 
 was dropped. Can also complete  with `QueueOfferResult.Failure` - when stream failed or 
 `QueueOfferResult.QueueClosed` when downstream is completed.

 When used from an actor you typically `pipe` the result of the @scala[`Future`]@java[`CompletionStage`] back to the actor to
