RetryStrategy currently uses a sequential algorithm for selecting the addresses.</p><h1 id="FailoverFeature-CircuitBreakersFailover">Circuit Breakers Failover</h1><p>The recent addition to CXF failover features is the implementation based on circuit breakers, more precisely Apache Zest (<a shape="rect" class="external-link" href="https://zest.apache.org/">https://zest.apache.org/</a>) library. The configuration is very similar to the regular failover strategy, the only difference is usage of<strong> clustering:circuit-breaker-failover</strong> element.</p><div class="code panel pdl" style="border-width: 1px;"><div class="codeContent panelContent pdl">

</div></div><p>Circuit breakers have recommended themselves as a proven strategy to handle and monitor the failures related to external service calls, giving the external systems a time to recover by preventing endless retries or time-outing. For that reason, two configuration parameters could be tuned:</p><ul style="list-style-type: square;"><li><strong>threshold</strong>: the error threshold to open the circuit breaker</li><li><strong>timeout</strong>: the timeout to wait before trying the next invocation</li></ul><h1 id="FailoverFeature-LoadDistribution">Load Distribution</h1><p>Load Distributor Feature is a Failover feature which can allow the clients to iterate over alternative addresses on every new call, irrespectively of whether the last call has reached its target or not. It can help with the controlling the traffic originating from CXF clients at individual servers.</p><div class="code panel pdl" style="border-width: 1px;"><div class="codeContent panelContent pdl">
