[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (JGRP-1586) UNICAST / UNICAST2: connection reaping should flush pending messages

Bela Ban created JGRP-1586: ------------------------------ Summary: UNICAST / UNICAST2: connection reaping should flush pending messages Key: JGRP-1586 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JGRP-1586 Project: JGroups Issue Type: Task Reporter: Bela Ban Assignee: Bela Ban Fix For: 3.3 In UNICAST/UNICAST2, a connection reaper closes idle connections after conn_expiry_time ms. The closing of a connection from A to B simply destroys and removes the entry for B (on A). However, if there are pending (unacked) messages in B's connection entry, they will be dropped. SOLUTION: Instead of simply destroying the connection entry for B, we should mark the entry as 'closing', so no more messages are added, and flush any pending messages. Perhaps send a CLOSE message to B. WORKAROUND: Set UNICAST(2).conn_expiry_time=0. This doesn't run the connection reaper -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
