 2.5</strong></p><p>In many enterprise environments where server nodes of unequal processing power &amp; performance characteristics are utilized to host services and processing endpoints, it is frequently necessary to distribute processing load based on their individual server capabilities so that some endpoints are not unfairly burdened with requests. Obviously simple round-robin or random load balancing do not alleviate problems of this nature. A Weighted Round-Robin and/or Weighted Random load balancer can be used to address this problem.</p><p>The weighted load balancing policy allows you to specify a processing load distribution ratio for each server with respect to others. You can specify this as a positive processing weight for each server. A larger number indicates that the server can handle a larger load.

Initially the Circuit Breaker is in closed state and passes all messages. If there are failures and the threshold is reached, it moves to open state and rejects all calls until halfOpenAfter timeout is reached. After this timeout is reached, if there is a new call, it will pass and if the result is success the Circuit Breaker will move to closed state, or to open state if there was an error.</p><p>An example using Java DSL:</p><div class="code panel pdl" style="border-width: 1px;"><div class="codeContent panelContent pdl">
