Circuit Breaking
Borrowed from the circuit breaker pattern in distributed systems, referring to actively cutting off calls to or execution of a resource upon detecting anomalies or risks in order to prevent fault propagation. In model training scenarios, it emphasizes terminating a specific workload quickly, controllably, and recoverably without affecting other tasks.
Timeline (last 90 days)
The term "circuit breaking" is borrowed from the circuit breaker pattern in distributed systems, referring to actively cutting off calls to or execution of a resource when anomalies or risks are detected, to prevent failures from spreading.
In model training scenarios, circuit breaking means precisely terminating a specific workload without stopping the entire cluster.
Circuit breaking typically requires coordination with the scheduling system and resource manager to complete the termination without affecting other jobs.
Circuit breaking and retrying are fundamentally different: retrying assumes failure is temporary, while circuit breaking acknowledges that failure may be structural and that continuing the loop only amplifies waste.
The self-healing probe outputs three states—HEALTHY, DEGRADED, and CRITICAL—and the orchestration layer accordingly performs full-concurrency dispatch, reduced concurrency with backoff, and circuit-breaking to pause the pipeline, respectively.
