[infinispan-dev] RELAY2 using shorts as site-ids

This is re [1]. I want to replace shorts as site-ids with strings. This would make EAP and JDG configuration simpler, as both configure the mapping from site string (e.g. "sfo") to ID (e.g. 1) on the fly. If we have sites sfo, lon and nyc in 1 config, we might end up with sfo=0, lon=1 and nyc=2. If we only configure lon and nyc in a differemt config, we have lon=0, nyc=1. This means that the second site interprets 0 as lon, although it was effectively sent by sfo. However, this will make RELAY2 incompatible with previous releases as SiteUUID is now different. The change would be in 3.4 (not 3.3.x), and as it will be used by Infinispan 6.0, I don't think this should be an issue... Thoughts ?
