             Summary: Circuit Breakers should support a "Warn-only" mode
                 Key: SOLR-17277
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-17277
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Improvement
      Security Level: Public (Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
          Components: Circuit Breakers
    Affects Versions: main (10.0)
            Reporter: Jason Gerlowski


The threshold values used when configuring Circuit Breakers are incredibly 
important.  Identifying when load begins to get "dangerous" is tricky: too 
stringent and users will get 429s unnecessarily, too lax and the circuit 
breakers won't be effective at preventing crashes.

Conservative users may wish to evaluate potential thresholds without actually 
blocking traffic.  Could Circuit Breakers offer some sort of "Dry Run" 
capability - where a request that would otherwise have been blocked merely logs 
a message?  This would allow users to get feedback on their thresholds before 
they actually start sending CB-based 429s to users.
