[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (JGRP-1419) UNICAST: switch from AckSenderWindow/AckReceiverWindow to Table<Message>

UNICAST: switch from AckSenderWindow/AckReceiverWindow to Table<Message> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: JGRP-1419 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JGRP-1419 Project: JGroups Issue Type: Enhancement Reporter: Bela Ban Assignee: Bela Ban Fix For: 3.1 UNICAST: - The sender has an AckSenderWindow, the receiver an AckReceiverWindow - The sender keeps retransmitting until the receiver delivers the message and acks it Suggestions: - Similar to NAKACK2, don't use a separate retransmitter for every member (window), but have just 1 retransmitter task scan the message tables and do retransmission - The sender's AckSenderWindow can also be replaced with a Table<Message> - Tthe receiver window can be replaced with a Table<Message> as well ! If we can do this, then we have - only 1 proven data structure (Table<Message>) - not 1 retransmitter per window, but 1 for all the windows (saving space) !
