HotRod client keep trying recover connections to a failed cluster ----------------------------------------------------------------- Key: ISPN-3947 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-3947 Project: Infinispan Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Remote Protocols Affects Versions: 6.0.1.Final, 7.0.0.Alpha1 Reporter: Wolf-Dieter Fink Assignee: Galder Zamarreño Priority: Critical Labels: hotrod, hotrod-java-client Fix For: 7.0.0.Alpha1, 7.0.0.Final If an infinispan-server cluster is not longer reachable for some reason, i.e. network disconnect, the hot-rod client try to re-establish the lost connections. The client library will retry this by a fixed calculation based on the max numbers of connections from the pool or 10 multiplied with the number of available servers. This can lead in a very long time until the application can continue and react as it will wait for the read- or connect-timeout for each try. To improve this behaviour there should be a configurable limit of retries per server and/or a timeout in total. This will give the application the chance to handle a remote-cache failure and reply to the user instead of hanging for minutes (with the default settings)
