[infinispan-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (ISPN-9112) getCache() should not wait for the initial state transfer by default

getCache() should not wait for the initial state transfer by default -------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: ISPN-9112 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-9112 Project: Infinispan Issue Type: Enhancement Components: Configuration, Core Affects Versions: 9.2.1.Final Reporter: Dan Berindei Assignee: Dan Berindei Fix For: 9.4.0.Final {{DefaultCacheManager.getCache(name)}} normally blocks until the local node becomes a full member of the consistent hash and the rebalance has finished. This can cause problems when rebalancing is disabled, either explicitly by the administrator, or implicitly because the cache is in degraded mode. Blocking can be disabled with {{builder.clustering().stateTransfer().awaitInitialTransfer(false)}} ({{await-initial-transfer="false"}} in XML}}, but we should make the non-blocking behaviour the default. We should also deprecate the method and attribute to enable the blocking behaviour, and instead add a method to {{AdvancedCache}} to wait for the initial state transfer.
