Core threading redesign ----------------------- Key: ISPN-5557 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-5557 Project: Infinispan Issue Type: Task Components: Core Affects Versions: 7.2.2.Final Reporter: Dan Berindei Assignee: Dan Berindei Priority: Critical Fix For: 9.0.0.Alpha2 Infinispan needs a lot of threads, because everything is synchronous: locking, remote command invocations, cache writers. This causes various issues, from general context switching overhead to the thread pools getting full and causing deadlocks. We should redesign the core so that most blocking happens on the application threads, and the number of internal threads is kept to a minimum.
