Re: [jbosscache-dev] AsyncCacheLoader state transfer problems

Hi, Working closely with cachloaders in the last two weeks I've noticed that current implementation of AsyncCacheLoader, if I understand things correctly, might lead to potenntial problems. If you recall, jbc state transfer (both streaming and byte based) algorithm is basically: -acquire lock on root -transfer state (receive or send) -release lock on root Transfer state part of this algorithm is done through cacheloader API calls (loadState/storeState etc). Besides lock acquisition/transfer/release there is also a lot of stream creation, cleanup, etc etc. This algorithm is good as long as we are running on one thread. AsyncCacheLoader does not conform to these assumptions since it runs all operations on its own thread. It seems like that we have to exempt load/store state operations from being done on separate, asynch cacheloader thread. Any thoughts? _______________________________________________ jbosscache-dev mailing list jbosscache-dev(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/jbosscache-dev
