// Package cbreaker implements circuit breaker similar to https://github.com/Netflix/Hystrix/wiki/How-it-Works // // Vulcan circuit breaker watches the error condtion to match // after which it activates the fallback scenario, e.g. returns the response code // or redirects the request to another location // Circuit breakers start in the Standby state first, observing responses and watching location metrics. // // Once the Circuit breaker condition is met, it enters the "Tripped" state, where it activates fallback scenario // for all requests during the FallbackDuration time period and reset the stats for the location. // // After FallbackDuration time period passes, Circuit breaker enters "Recovering" state, during that state it will // start passing some traffic back to the endpoints, increasing the amount of passed requests using linear function: // // allowedRequestsRatio = 0.5 * (Now() - StartRecovery())/RecoveryDuration // // Two scenarios are possible in the "Recovering" state: // 1. Condition matches again, this will reset the state to "Tripped" and reset the timer. // 2. Condition does not match, circuit breaker enters "Standby" state // // It is possible to define actions (e.g. webhooks) of transitions between states: // // * OnTripped action is called on transition (Standby -> Tripped) // * OnStandby action is called on transition (Recovering -> Standby) // package cbreaker import ( "fmt" "net/http" "sync" "time" log "github.com/sirupsen/logrus" "github.com/mailgun/timetools" "github.com/vulcand/oxy/memmetrics" "github.com/vulcand/oxy/utils" ) // CircuitBreaker is http.Handler that implements circuit breaker pattern type CircuitBreaker struct { m *sync.RWMutex metrics *memmetrics.RTMetrics condition hpredicate fallbackDuration time.Duration recoveryDuration time.Duration onTripped SideEffect onStandby SideEffect state cbState until time.Time rc *ratioController checkPeriod time.Duration lastCheck time.Time fallback http.Handler next http.Handler clock timetools.TimeProvider } // New creates a new CircuitBreaker middleware func New(next http.Handler, expression string, options ...CircuitBreakerOption) (*CircuitBreaker, error) { cb := &CircuitBreaker{ m: &sync.RWMutex{}, next: next, // Default values.
