Re: [infinispan-dev] Conditional cache operations useless with Optimistic locking?

I think using conditional operations is very useful even with optimistic locking: the single conditional operation might not make sense, but a transaction might include more operations and some of these operations might depend on the result of the conditional operation. I'd expect the conditional operation to only return the value based on current state (a prediction), and the transaction would fail if this value is no longer valid at commit time. So no locks need to be taken during the evaluation.
