Re: [infinispan-dev] deadlock detection - coin toss

this is regarding: http://tinyurl.com/nunmyu In order to be able to determine which tx should commit and which will rollback, I need to generate a coin toss for each node - a random number. In order to do that I'm thinking to use on of the following: 1) use java.util.Random . The issue with this class is that it has an undocumented behavior when it comes to concurrent access, so I cannot rely on it behaving correctly if I don't enforce proper synchronization. I'm afraid this might become a bottleneck as all the prepapares requests might want to synchronize on it.
