Re: [jbosscache-dev] JBCACHE-471 - Handling JGroups MERGE

Couple of thoughts: * The interface is not top priority, because uses can handle a merge even today, without the interface * That being said, it is more important IMO to *handle* the merge than to provide the interface, for example we should handle merging in o HTTP session replication o JBC as a 2nd level cache for Hibernate o SFSB repl (in the context of SFSBs becoming more important with Seam ?) * Yes, any interface should be tagged as experimental, as I'm sure we will need to modify it as more use cases come along -- Bela Ban Lead JGroups / Clustering Team JBoss - a division of Red Hat
