[infinispan-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (ISPN-6443) Add ability to cancel an event in a listener

Add ability to cancel an event in a listener -------------------------------------------- Key: ISPN-6443 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-6443 Project: Infinispan Issue Type: Enhancement Components: Core, Expiration Affects Versions: 8.2.0.Final Reporter: Vincent Massol Assignee: William Burns My use case is the following: * I have some lenghty computation that I cache * I don't want users to incur the wait before the computation is finished One idea is: * Upon expiration (or eviction), I'd like to put back the entry in the cache and start a thread to perform a recomputation (which would put the recomputed value in the cache) * The issue is that the cache has a lock on the entry and thus I can't put it back in the cache. Thus one solution is to be able to cancel the expiration/eviction events (and thus not have to put back the entry in the cache). Of course I'm very open to hear if there are other solutions to this! :) Thanks a lot
