* An interface describing a <a
* href="http://martinfowler.com/bliki/CircuitBreaker.html">Circuit Breaker</a> component.
* </p>
* <p>
* A <em>circuit breaker</em> can be used to protect an application against unreliable
* services or unexpected load. It typically monitors a specific resource. As long as this
* resource works as expected, it stays in state <em>closed</em>, meaning that the
* resource can be used. If problems are encountered when using the resource, the circuit
* breaker can switch into state <em>open</em>; then access to this resource is
* prohibited. Depending on a concrete implementation, it is possible that the circuit
* breaker switches back to state <em>closed</em> when the resource becomes available
* again.
* </p>
* <p>
* This interface defines a generic protocol of a circuit breaker component. It should be
* sufficiently generic to be applied to multiple different use cases.
* </p>
*
* @param <T> the type of the value monitored by this circuit breaker
* @since 3.5
