[infinispan-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (ISPN-2552) Support concurrent updates for non-transactional caches

Mircea Markus created ISPN-2552: ----------------------------------- Summary: Support concurrent updates for non-transactional caches Key: ISPN-2552 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-2552 Project: Infinispan Issue Type: Feature Request Affects Versions: 5.1.0.FINAL Reporter: Mircea Markus Assignee: Mircea Markus Fix For: 5.2.0.CR1 for non-transactional caches, when a key is updated, a local lock is acquired and also a lock on all the owning nodes as well. This is very inefficient for concurrent updates as it is very deadlock-prone. The following locking approach should solve this problem at the cost of an additional RPC: - 'k' is written on node A, owners(k)={B,C} - A forwards the given command to B - B acquires a lock on 'k' then it forwards it to the remaining owners: C - C applies the change and returns to B (no lock acquisition is needed) - B applies the result as well, releases the lock and returns the result of the operation to A. Note that even though this introduces an additional RPC (the forwarding), it behaves very well in conjunction with consistent-hash aware hotrod clients which connect directly to the lock owner. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
