DistSender circuit breakers are useful in this test to avoid artificially inflated latencies due to the way the test measures failover time (pMax, no timeouts). Without circuit breakers, a request stuck on the partitioned leaseholder will get blocked indefinitely, despite the range recovering on the other side of the partition and becoming available to all new traffic. As a result, the test won't differentiate between temporary and permanent range unavailability. We have other tests which demonstrate the benefit of DistSender circuit breakers (especially when applications do not use statement timeouts), so we don't need to test them here.
With this change, the test's meaured failover time drops from:
down to:
This is because the circuit breakers place a 10s timeout on all KV requests, so no request gets stuck indefinitely. Notice that expiration and leader leases now recover, while epoch leases remain unavailable indefinitely.
