[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-1965?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.... ] RH Bugzilla Integration commented on ISPN-1965: ----------------------------------------------- Dan Berindei <dberinde(a)redhat.com&gt; made a comment on [bug 808623|https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=808623] Infinispan doesn't guarantee anything when when more than numOwner nodes leave the cluster. When we have a split in a 4-nodes cluster and each partition has 2 nodes, that means each partition will have lost numOwners nodes and Infinispan can't guarantee that all the pre-existing keys will be kept in both partitions. When the partitions merge and we get a single cluster, the key values are usually preserved in the new cluster - assuming that no client modifies the values during the network split. If a client modified a key during the split, Infinispan doesn't offer any guarantees: a client could retrieve the old value or the new value (and it could retrieve the old value after it retrieved the new value). This policy applies for creation/removal as well, if we equate a missing key with a null value. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
