This code will be revisited as part of the tx refactoring > 3) Vladimir, why is this check necessary in the first place? If prepares have happened on nodes A and B, and the commit should now go to nodes B and C due to a rehash, can't we send the commit to a union of A, B and C, and let the nodes that don't care about the tx anymore just ignore the commit? > > Cheers > Manik > -- > Manik Surtani > manik(a)jboss.org > twitter.com/maniksurtani > > Lead, Infinispan > http://www.infinispan.org > > > > _______________________________________________ > infinispan-dev mailing list > infinispan-dev(a)lists.jboss.org > https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/infinispan-dev _______________________________________________ infinispan-dev mailing list infinispan-dev(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/infinispan-dev
