New Features for pybreaker #1

Closed cpennington closed 11 years ago

cpennington commented 12 years ago

I added the following features:

new type of circuit breaker that is parameterized (so that it can handle data-driven external dependencies)
a management interface so that it's easy to expose the circuit breakers to the ops department via the command line
the ability to force a breaker open or closed (meaning that it will stay in that state indefinitely), for use by the operations team

I also migrated the state machine code to use the fluidity-sm library, which I felt made the actual state logic easier to understand, and more easily changed.

Wow, this is practically a rewrite! :-)

I had two major issues with this patch though. The first issue is that I couldn't run the test suite with python setup.py test (python 2.6). The other issue is that none of these changes were documented in README, which is the main source of information about how the software works.

I'm terribly sorry about the huge delay, but I was really busy up until now.

Thanks for the contribution!
