[JBoss JIRA] Created: (ISPN-670) Consider all entries from data container as eviction candidates

Consider all entries from data container as eviction candidates
---------------------------------------------------------------
Key: ISPN-670
URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-670
Project: Infinispan
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Eviction
Affects Versions: 4.2.0.ALPHA2, 4.1.0.Final
Reporter: Vladimir Blagojevic
Assignee: Vladimir Blagojevic
There was a subtle change of eviction semantics starting with 4.1 where only immortal entries are considered as eviction candidates. By default all entries are immortal, that is, their expiration and lifespan are -1. As soon as mortal entries are used (expiration !=-1 || lifespan !=-1) they are not subject to eviction policies and container size can grow above limit specified in maxEntries.
This policy is confusing and it does not make a lot of sense. All candidates, both mortal and immortal should be considered as eviction candidates and as such subject to eviction.
