[infinispan-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Updated: (ISPN-1195) Rehashing and state transfer to use digesting

Rehashing and state transfer to use digesting --------------------------------------------- Key: ISPN-1195 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-1195 Project: Infinispan Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Distributed Cache, State transfer Affects Versions: 5.0.0.FINAL Reporter: Manik Surtani Assignee: Dan Berindei Priority: Critical Labels: rehash, state_transfer, versioning Fix For: 5.1.0.BETA1, 5.1.0.Final Rather than pushing entire state to new joiners, a mechanism of digests should be used to minimise network transfers. For example, Merkle trees can be used to determine which entries are out of date and need pushing, in the case of nodes that persist to a local cache store, and is restarted but still has access to some state on disk. This would require versioned entries though.
