Since we now support asymmetric clusters, could we avoid scaring users with the WARN log "You are not starting all your caches at the same time. This can lead to problems as asymmetric clusters are not supported, see ISPN-658" If you're all ok with it I'd open an issue to drop the log. What about the startCaches() API? We can either deprecate it, or leave it there: one day we might improve on that and provide a more efficient way to start multiple caches at once. Sanne
