com.github.norwae:circuit4stream_2.12 (maven):  This module packages a circuit breaker that can be used to avoid overloading or otherwise depending on a temporarily unavailable (remote) system. The central use of the circuit breaker is to prevent failures from one system to cascade to other systems in an unchecked manner. Thus, our implementation is chiefly concerned with replacing a failing component with another component that fails in a very predictable manner. These failures are not "dropped" or otherwise made invisible, and still need to be handled, but they will occur in a predictable, and hopefully usable manner.
