[infinispan-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (ISPN-445) Ensure that locks time out

Ensure that locks time out -------------------------- Key: ISPN-445 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-445 Project: Infinispan Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Locking and Concurrency Reporter: Philippe Van Dyck Assignee: Manik Surtani Fix For: 5.2.0.FINAL When a lock is acquired, no mechanism ensure that it is reclaimed later. So if for whatever reason the thread owning the lock is stuck in an endless loop or waiting for some resource, the entry is locked. This kind of situation could happen in cache stores trying to contact a remote storage. The risk is quite high that other entries may be locked as well if you use lock stripping (default : TRUE)
