== Hystrix Example

=== Introduction

This example shows how to use Camel with Hystrix EIP as circuit breaker
in Camel routes

The example includes three sub maven modules that implement

* client
* service1
* service2

Where client -> service1 client -> service2 (fallback)

=== Configuration

Service1 is configured in the
`+src/main/java/sample/camel/Service1Application.java+` source code.
Service2 is configured in the
`+src/main/resources/application.properties+` properties file.

=== Build

You will need to compile this example first:

[source,sh]
----
$ mvn compile
----

=== Run the example

Then using three different shells and run service1 and service2 before
the client.

[source,sh]
----
$ cd service1
$ mvn compile spring-boot:run
----

When service1 is ready then start service2

[source,sh]
----
$ cd service2
$ mvn compile camel:run
----

And then start the client that calls service1 every second.

[source,sh]
----
$ cd client
$ mvn compile spring-boot:run
----

You can then stop service1 and see that the client should fallback to
call service2 in the Hystrix EIP circuit breaker. And then start service
1 again and see the Hystrix EIP go back to normal.

=== Hystrix web console

You should be able to visualize the state of the Hystrix Circuit Breaker
in the Hystrix Web Console.

You can find instructions at Hystrix how to build and run the web
console: https://github.com/Netflix/Hystrix/wiki/Dashboard

For example using gradle, you can then access the web console locally
at: `+http://localhost:7979/hystrix-dashboard+`.

The stream is accessinble from the client at:
`+http://localhost:8080/hystrix.stream+` which you can add as stream to
the web console and then you should see the circuit breakers. In the
screen shot below, we have just stopped service1, so the Hystrix EIP
will execute the fallback via network, which is calling service2
instead. If you start service 1 again then the Hystrix EIP should go
back to green again.
