Hi,

In the Camel-Hystrix component, what motivated the choice the execute the
Fallback only when an Exception is raised ?

Why not to let the end user choose if they want to execute the fallback or
not when no Exception is raised ?

To put in context:

The getFallback() is called by Hystrix in all the cases documented in
Hystrix doc:
"Hystrix will execute this fallback for all types of failure such as run()
failure, timeout, thread pool or semaphore rejection, and circuit-breaker
short-circuiting. "

Cf: https://github.com/Netflix/Hystrix/wiki/How-To-Use#Fallback

However, Camel-Hystrix sometimes does not execute the fallback, eg. on
thread pool or semaphore rejection, because no Exception is raised those
cases.

Cf line 50 of:
https://github.com/apache/camel/blob/master/components/camel-hystrix/src/main/java/org/apache/camel/component/hystrix/processor/HystrixProcessorCommand.java

Best Regards,

Max
