[infinispan-dev] Cache stop timeout for on-going transactions

[Galder Zamarreño]

Hmmm, <transaction timeout="" /> could easily be mislead to think that you can set the transaction timeout that way, which is not true. The transaction timeout is defined by the TM and can be overriden by client code.

The reasoning behind cacheStopTimeout is that this is the time the transaction management layer within Infinispan waits for on-going transactions to finish when the cache is stopped. If the timeout expires, cache continues with its stop procedure, and any pending transactions will fail the next time they call the cache of if they attempt to prepare/commit the tx.

If you check the pull, this is the docu for this option:

   /**
    * If there are any ongoing transactions when a cache is stopped,
    * Infinispan waits for ongoing remote and local transactions to finish.
    * The amount of time to wait for is defined by the cache stop timeout.
    * It is recommended that this value does not exceed the transaction
    * timeout because even if a new transaction was started just before the
    * cache was stopped, this could only last as long as the transaction
    * timeout allows it.
