Abstract
To make a connection between a user application and a data source fault tolerant, a user may use a wrapper generator to create an API wrapper that retries request that may have failed due to a service disruption. Generally, the wrapper manages a cache and contains the necessary information for retrying a connection after a service disruption. To create the wrapper, the wrapper generator may identify the different commands used by the user application to access the data source. The wrapper generator presents these commands to the user who organizes the commands to generate usage patterns for the different requests the user application may send to the data source. The user may also define a caching preference associated the commands in the usage patterns. To restart the connection, the wrapper may use the cache data to generate a new request to complete the original failed request.
