[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-694?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.s... ] Dan Berindei commented on ISPN-694: ----------------------------------- [~william.burns] for now, remote gets are sent to all the owners, so unless all the get requests are coming from the primary owner, the other owners will see some activity on the key. But maxIdle with numOwners != 1 will become pointless once we introduce staggered gets (I still have the branch in my repo!) With lifespan there are consistency problems as well: the exact moment the entry is created depends on the node, so it will expire at different times on different nodes. But I guess nobody that cares about consistency uses lifespan and/or maxIdle (except maybe [~pferraro]). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
