[infinispan-issues] [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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://jira.jboss.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
