[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Created: (JGRP-509) backoff-restart flush algorithm has a bug

backoff-restart flush algorithm has a bug ----------------------------------------- Key: JGRP-509 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JGRP-509 Project: JGroups Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Michael Newcomb Assigned To: Bela Ban Fix For: 2.5 Consider FLUSH.startFlush(): If the timeout expires on the flush_promise, the backoff-sleep algorithm kicks in. This sleeps for a random time and then tries calls startFlush again. The problem is that between the time that the flush_promise times out and startFlush is re-issued, the flush could have completed successfully, but it would go unnoticed, because after Util.sleep completes, the flush_promise is reset. Recommend using the flush_promise.getResultWithTimeout(timeout) alone and not Util.sleep(). The group is just as operational during flush_promise.getResultWithTimeout(timeout) as in Util.sleep(). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
