Radim Vansa commented on ISPN-4137:
-----------------------------------
I hate two generals'-style problems.
I agree that sending rollback is bad. However, it seems to me that manual reconciliation
is rather cumbersome. I don't have any experience with that, honestly, is it really
expected to be executed by human through JMX console in production? Or, should every
commit exception catch block contain some reconciliation code? And what to do without
recovery, just keep it locked?
By the way, when the primary owner crashes during transaction, does the transaction become
in doubt? Because then it could be prepared on one backup and committed on another, and
some lock should be acquired by the new owner (and the lock kept until the tx is
reconciled).
Transaction executed multiple times due to forwarded CommitCommand

Key: ISPN-4137
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-4137
Project: Infinispan
Issue Type: Bug
Components: State Transfer, Transactions
Reporter: Radim Vansa
Assignee: Dan Berindei
Priority: Critical
When the {{StateTransferInterceptor}} forwards a CommitCommand for the new topology,
multiple CommitCommands may be broadcast across the cluster. If the command (forwarded
already from originator) times out, the transaction may be correctly finished by the first
one and the application considers TX as succeeded (useSynchronizations=true), although one
more Rollback is sent as well.
Then, again in STI, when the CommitCommand arrives with higher topologyId than the one
used for the first TX execution, another artificial Prepare (followed by the commit) is
executed - see {{STI.visitCommitCommand}}.
However, this execution may be delayed a lot and originator may have already executed
another TX on the same entries. Then, this forwarded Commit will overwrite the already
updated entries, causing inconsistency of data.
