Feign Hystrix Fallbacks
Hystrix supports the notion of a fallback: a default code path that is executed when they circuit is open or there is an error. To enable fallbacks for a given @FeignClient
set the fallback
attribute to the class name that implements the fallback. You also need to declare your implementation as a Spring bean.
@FeignClient(name = "hello", fallback = HystrixClientFallback.class)
protected interface HystrixClient {
@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET, value = "/hello")
Hello iFailSometimes();
}
static class HystrixClientFallback implements HystrixClient {
@Override
public Hello iFailSometimes() {
return new Hello("fallback");
}
}
If one needs access to the cause that made the fallback trigger, one can use the fallbackFactory
attribute inside @FeignClient
.
@FeignClient(name = "hello", fallbackFactory = HystrixClientFallbackFactory.class)
protected interface HystrixClient {
@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET, value = "/hello")
Hello iFailSometimes();
}
@Component
static class HystrixClientFallbackFactory implements FallbackFactory<HystrixClient> {
@Override
public HystrixClient create(Throwable cause) {
return new HystrixClient() {
@Override
public Hello iFailSometimes() {
return new Hello("fallback; reason was: " + cause.getMessage());
}
};
}
}
There is a limitation with the implementation of fallbacks in Feign and how Hystrix fallbacks work. Fallbacks are currently not supported for methods that return com.netflix.hystrix.HystrixCommand and rx.Observable .
