By default, these are all JDK-provided CHMs. But we have the option to switch to our CHMv8 implementation by passing in -Dinfinispan.unsafe.allow_jdk8_chm=true. > > The question is, should this be the default? Thoughts, opinions? The JDK's concurrency code - especially CHM - changes all the time. You'd be very well-served, in my opinion, to go with something like CHMv8 just because you could be so much more sure that you'll have more consistent (and possibly better, but definitely more consistent) performance across all JVMs, instead of being at the mercy of whatever particular implementation happens to run on whatever JVM. -- - DML _______________________________________________ infinispan-dev mailing list infinispan-dev(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/infinispan-dev
