[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HSEARCH-532) FSSlaveDirectoryProvider could retry several times when the current marker file is not found

Emmanuel Bernard commented on HSEARCH-532:
------------------------------------------

I wonder if it's the right thing to do actually. 
We know the system won't boot properly today if the master is not started first and initialize the directory structure. Adding a retry n times would only be here to hide the fundamental weakness. Or is there a use case I am missing?

> The {{FSMasterDirectoryProvider}} has a hole in the startup procedure where it is possible for the {{FSSlaveDirectoryProvider}} to not being able to find the current marker file. At the moment the startup for the slave will fail in this case. We could let the {{FSSlaveDirectoryProvider}} retry for a couple of times to allow the master to create the marker file.
> This problem can also occur during runtime, but there the {{FSSlaveDirectoryProvider}} just skips a sync. However, we log this as error. Probably should just be a warning.
