    I know that mocking was extensively used so far, but we had quite bad 
experience with it.
    
    I don't agree that it is not interacting, because it is for example 
checking `inputChannel.isReleased()`, which you need to mock one test below. 
Now imagine that during some refactor/implementing new feature someone modifies 
handlers code, by adding some additional interaction/sanity check on 
`inputChannel`. With mocks it will lead with thousands of changes in all of the 
mocked unit tests.

> This is a part of work for credit-based network flow control.
> The related works are :
> *  We define a new message called {{AddCredit}} to notify the incremental 
> credit during data shuffle. 
> * Whenever an {{InputChannel}}’s unannounced credit goes up from zero, the 
> channel is enqueued in the pipeline.
> * Whenever the channel becomes writable, it takes the next {{InputChannel}} 
> and sends its unannounced credit. The credit is reset to zero after each sent.
> * That way, messages are sent as often as the network has capacity and 
> contain as much credit as available for the channel at that point in time. 
> Otherwise, it would only add latency to the announcements and not increase 
> throughput.
