[infinispan-dev] SingleJoinTest#testTransactional failure

[Vladimir Blagojevic]

Hi,

SingleJoinTest transactional variant currently fails. But it is destined 
to fail as is! Let me explain. We have four nodes {A,B,C,D} and another 
node E joins. Just before E joins a tx T is started on one of the 
existing nodes with a write to key K. There is essentially a latch in 
the prepare of T that is opened only after E succefully joins upon join 
rehash. As part of join rehash E needs to invalidate invalid L1 keys and 
during that process it tries to lock ..you guessed it key K. Since T 
holds a lock on K already eventually E join rehash task times out and as 
a result we get a failed test.


I did not write this test and I would not like to change the original 
writer's test case intent. What are our options?

Cheers,
Vladimir
