1) We have to drop the old interceptor/invocation if we are going to be able to unify and resuse aspects. 2-4) LoadBalancePolicy should ideally just have an abstraction of the invocation payload and metadata as that is all that it would use rather than a dependency on the org.jboss.aop.joinpoint.Invocation. I thought we were breaking out the metadata from the Invocation, but its still there. Still, I would just have chooseTarget(FamilyClusterInfo, Map) and if a policy needs the Invocation it can be added by interceptor.
