I wonder if we can improve on it by pausing the state transfer from time to time to flush
waiting transactions? I.e., if state transfer is in progress and a write command or
transaction is waiting for it to finish, and since state transfer is chunked anyway,
perhaps to let a few transactions through in between transferring chunks?
Wondering about my proposal about transfering values separately from
locks not being easier to implement? Or likely same effort, but
better..
Well, thats what I want to try and understand. If periodic flushing is
easier/quicker/less risky to implement, I think we could do it for 5.2.0. :)
Sanne, have you documented your design on separate transfer of state vs locks on the wiki
somewhere? I'd be curious to see what Paolo and the others at INESC and CINI think
about it as well. :)
