[infinispan-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Updated: (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: 4.1.0.Final, 4.2.0.ALPHA2 Reporter: Vladimir Blagojevic Assignee: Vladimir Blagojevic Fix For: 4.2.0.BETA1, 4.2.0.Final, 5.0.0.BETA1, 5.0.0.Final 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.
