https://jira.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-731Vladimir, mind taking a look into this one as you're familiar with the code re:state transfer?
Can't we factorize the code common Leave and Join code and still use a single thread to do all the action? There's no point in using two threads that run in sequence (unless they do some parallel processing?).
Umm, nope. :) One is a push and one is a pull. Very different.
Can't we just do push and no push(xor pull)? I guess my basic question is: what do we get by doing both push and pull at the same time? Any operation happening in parallel which would make things faster?
Mircea, Have a look at the old LeaveTask.java. Pushing state on leave is complicated! Hence InvertedLeaveTask.java which pulls state just like join task. We share a lot of code with JoinTask, it is easier to maintain, comprehend etc etc.
