## Name

Fault injection plugin, this plugin can be used with other plugins and will be executed before other plugins.  The `abort` attribute will directly return the user-specified http code to the client and terminate the subsequent plugins. The `delay` attribute will delay a request and execute subsequent plugins.


## Attributes

|Name          |Requirement  |Description|
|------- |-----|------|
|abort.http_status|required|user-specified http code returned to the client|
|abort.body|optional|response data returned to the client|
|delay.duration|required|delay time(can be decimal)|

Note: `abort` and `delay` must have at least one.

## How To Enable

#### Enable the plugin

1: enable the fault-injection plugin for a specific route and specify the abort attribute：

```shell
curl http://127.0.0.1:9080/apisix/admin/routes/1 -X PUT -d '
{
    "plugins": {
       "fault-injection": {
           "abort": {
              "http_status": 200,
              "body": "Fault Injection!"
           }
       }
    },
    "upstream": {
       "nodes": {
           "127.0.0.1:1980": 1
       },
       "type": "roundrobin"
    },
    "uri": "/hello"
}'
```

Test plugin：

```shell
$ curl http://127.0.0.1:9080/hello -i

2: Enable the `fault-injection` plugin for a specific route and specify the `delay` attribute:

```shell

{
    "plugins": {
       "fault-injection": {
           "delay": {
              "duration": 3
           }
       }
    },
    "upstream": {
       "nodes": {
           "127.0.0.1:1980": 1
       },
       "type": "roundrobin"
    },
    "uri": "/hello"
}'
```
