Right. This behavior, and a few other things, is nice, but I'd be hesitant to say it belongs in its own library. If this kind of baroque architecture (and the stilted writing demonstrated by the documentation) is de rigueur at Netflix, I don't think I'd ever want to work there.

Care to elaborate? I think Amazon does it similarly, so what's so baroque about it?

I agree that the behavior Hysterix provides is a Good Thing, but I'm not convinced that packaging up this behavior into a separate library and open source project is architecturally elegant. Instead, the base-level web services client library should provide this functionality. I'm wary of adding too many modules and too many dependencies to a system.
