Bulkhead

Bulkhead is an exception detection mechanism. It is used when a request timeout or large traffic occurs. Generally, you need to set the timeout duration and the number of concurrent requests.

• Bulkhead of Java chassis is used for microservice consumers. The bulkhead module must be integrated into microservice applications and the bizkeeper-consumer processing chain must be enabled.

  Configuration example:

  servicecomb:
    handler:   
      chain:     
        Consumer:       
          default: bizkeeper-consumer 
    isolation:   
      Consumer:     
        timeout:       
          enabled: true #Whether to enable timeout detection
        timeoutInMilliseconds: 30000 #Timeout threshold
