Re: [infinispan-dev] Generated keys affected by rehash Was: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-977

Hi Dan, I don't necessarily care about which server it's on, as long as the keys for my set of caches all remain collocated. I understand they will all end up in the same bucket, but for one hash code, that's at most 200 keys. I must acquire a lock for a subset of them during a transaction -- so I make liberal use of the "eagerLockSingleNode" option and redirecting my calling application to execute a transaction on the local node. Acquiring cluster-wide locks is an absolute throughput killer. I took a look at the KeyAffinityService a while ago (when it came out) and quickly realized it would not be suitable for my purposes. I was wondering if ISPN-977 would allow me to use it. But you're right. What I ultimately want is ISPN-312.

I imagine that would degrade performance quite a bit, because we have HashMaps everywhere and your keys will always end up in the same hash bucket. ISPN-312 seems to me like a much better fit for your use case than the KeyAffinityService. Even if you added a listener to change your keys when the topology changes, that would mean on a rehash the keys could get moved to the new server and then back to the old server, whereas with ISPN-312 they will either all stay on the old node or they will all move to the new node.
