HystrixCircuitBreaker allowRequest() doesn't have idempotent behaviour in latest release 1.5.18
The master includes this change PR #1568, which made allowRequest() idempotent, which was released in 1.5.12. However the latest release 1.5.18 doesn't have it.
Does anyone know why?
Thanks
1.5.11 was re-released as 1.5.18. See #1891 for explanation.
The change might have fixed a race condition in HystrixCommandMetrics that could introduce memory leaks.
resetStream() may be called in parallel with isOpen() or allowRequest(), occasionally leaking subscriptions with re-subscription of counterSubject in BucketedCounterStream.startCachingStreamValuesIfUnstarted().
