Ups, sent too early! So, the NYC site is not up, so I see in the logs:
2018-04-30 16:53:49,411 ERROR [org.infinispan.test.fwk.TEST_RELAY2] (testng-ProtobufMetadataXSiteStateTransferTest[DIST_SYNC, tx=false]:[])
ProtobufMetadataXSiteStateTransferTest[DIST_SYNC, tx=false]-NodeA-55452: no route to NYC: dropping message
But the put hangs and never completes [2]. I've traced the code and [3] never gets called, with no events.
I think this might be a JGroups bug because ChannelCallbacks implements UpHandler, but JChannel never deals with a receiver that might implement UpHandler, so it never delivers site unreachable message up the stack.
@Bela?
Cheers,
