[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JGRP-770) Concurrent startup of many channels doesn't stabilize

Concurrent startup of many channels doesn't stabilize ----------------------------------------------------- Key: JGRP-770 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JGRP-770 Project: JGroups Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Bela Ban Assigned To: Vladimir Blagojevic Fix For: 2.7, 2.6.3 Attachments: 770.txt, GroupRequest.java [Brian Goose] Jgroups 2.6.2, jdk1.6u4, and OS "Linux bubba 2.6.24-16-generic #1 SMP Thu Apr 10 13:23:42 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux" I have 8 machines that all join a channel when they startup. Usually, they eventually merge into one view with 8 machines in it, but sometimes I end up with one view of 7 members and one view of 1 member. It never merges, even after waiting for an hour or two. I've created a unit test that demonstrates this problem while using the flush-udp stack. About 20% of the time the views will never merge into one big view, but instead stays as two separate views, continually trying to merge and failing. Do I have something set up wrong here? Should this test work reliably? I'm running with these java switches: -ea -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -Dorg.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory=org.apache.commons.logging.impl. LogFactoryImpl The test class is attached.
