[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Closed: (JBCLUSTER-268) Distributed locking API should indicate whether taking lock from another node was necessary

Distributed locking API should indicate whether taking lock from another node was necessary ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBCLUSTER-268 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBCLUSTER-268 Project: JBoss Clustering Issue Type: Task Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: HA-Server-API Reporter: Brian Stansberry Fix For: HA-Server-API 2.0.0.Beta1 Callers asking for a lock should be able to distinguish these cases: 1) Lock can't be obtained 2) Lock obtained, and node already held it. 3) Lock obtained, but the node had to make a group RPC to get it Purpose of this is to use condition 3) as a way to detect failover. Related to this, the API should also support creation of a new lock category such that the node immediately owns the lock with no group RPC.
