MERGE3 : Strange number and content of subgroups ------------------------------------------------ Key: JGRP-1876 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JGRP-1876 Project: JGroups Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 3.4.2 Reporter: Karim AMMOUS Assignee: Bela Ban Fix For: 3.6.3 Attachments: 4Subgroups.zip, ChannelCreator.java, DkeJgrpAddress.java, JGRP-1876-1.pdf, karim-logs-files.zip, MergeTest4.java, MergeViewWith210Subgroups.log, SplitMergeTest.java, views.txt Using JGroups 3.4.2, a split occurred and a merge was processed successfully but number of subgroups is wrong (210 instead of 2). The final mergeView is correct and contains 210 members. Here is an extract of subviews: {code} INFO | Incoming-18,cluster,term-ETJ101697729-31726:host:192.168.56.6:1:CL(GROUP01)[F] | [MyMembershipListener.java:126] | (middleware) | MergeView view ID = [serv-ZM2BU35940-58033:vt-14:192.168.55.55:1:CL(GROUP01)[F]|172] 210 subgroups [....

But I observed that merge was preceded by an ifdown/ifup on host 192.168.56.6. That member lost all others members, but it still present in their view. Example: {code} {A, B, C} => {A, B, C} and {C} => {A, B, C} {code}
