Description of the feature request:

The interface for circuitbreaker was defined long back but it has just NOOP implementation. As it was left unimplemented any problem in remote cache has detrimental effect on build times.

What underlying problem are you trying to solve with this feature?

Implement a basic failure circuit breaker to prevent any potential issues in the remote cache from negatively impacting the build time. This would ensure that the performance with remote cache is not worse than without it
