[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (JGRP-1492) return_entire_cache can prevent group from forming

return_entire_cache can prevent group from forming -------------------------------------------------- Key: JGRP-1492 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JGRP-1492 Project: JGroups Issue Type: Feature Request Affects Versions: 3.1 Reporter: David Hotham Assignee: Bela Ban Fix For: 3.2 I have managed to get my group into a position such that a dead member with a 'low' logical address is in the logical address cache, and as a result no-one is able to form a view. All members loop round at ClientGmsImpl.java line 130-ish, going: - The group contains only clients - I'm not the 'first' client (the dead member is) - So I'll wait for someone else to become coordinator Because return_entire_cache is true, everyone continues to discover the dead element and continues to wait for him to become coordinator. I think there needs to be some way for the dead member's address to be marked as removable in the logical address cache, and to expire.
