[infinispan-dev] Distribution, unreliable returns, conditional commands and transactions

[galder at redhat.com]

In DI.remoteGetBeforeWrite, you have:

      if (isNeedReliableReturnValues(ctx) || (isConditionalCommand && ctx.isInTxScope())) {
         for (Object k : keygen.getKeys()) remoteGetAndStoreInL1(ctx, k, isStillRehashingOnJoin);
      }

Why does the command need to be conditional and within a transaction in order to do a remote get when reliable returns are not needed? It is my understanding that if a conditional command is in use, i.e. replace(k, old, v), it should override not needing reliable returns in order to get accurate results. However, this only seems to be the case if the conditional op is within a transaction.

Cheers,
