[infinispan-dev] Collocated nodes

[Vladimir Blagojevic]

Manik,

I believe this is going to work as well. As long as hash is placing nodes to same positions in subsequent views and we deterministically devise the neighbour picking algorithm we should be fine. Your suggestion indeed seems elegant and simple.

Cheers,
Vladimir

Once you cycle back to the first node selected, repeat but this time discarding only for a machine id match.  And again, if you cycle back to the first node selected, don't discard any nodes, regardless of machine id/rack id match.
