Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.10-b01-428, mixed mode)
Good that the figured out this is non-sense.

Why not? We support JDK 1.6, so nothing stops them from running it.

Until we baseline on JDK7 (or 8), I'd leave it in.


My point was that it is a really big change,

Why?  The patch was trivial.  Implementing it is easy, and then doing a search and replace on the codebase again resulted in a pretty small patch.

and further it imposes a burden on anyone writing code with collections in Infinispan.

Is it that hard for a reviewer to spot?  :)  Maybe even write a script to check and warn for this.


I'm not saying it's hard, but he'll have to write a comment, the author will have to notice the comment and update the PR, then the reviewer will have to notice the PR update and look at it again, and so on.

All these things take time, and I would rather not invest that time if we can't see an improvement in performance.

I'm sure we will spend non-trivial amounts of time during reviews pointing out places there the author should have used InfinispanCollections instead of Collections...

I would be willing to go for it if a benchmark showed a significant increase in performance after the change, but you didn't mention any benchmarks, so I guessed that you didn't see a big difference...
