advancedCircuit Breaker with Resilience4j

What are the three states of a circuit breaker, and what triggers the transition from CLOSED to OPEN?

CLOSED (normal, failures counted), OPEN (calls fail fast without even attempting the downstream call), and HALF_OPEN (a limited number of test calls check for recovery). The transition to OPEN happens once the failure rate over a sliding window crosses a configured threshold.
