[infinispan-dev] Total Order Anycast in JGroups 3.1.0.Alpha4

[Bela Ban]

FYI,

I've integrated Pedro's TOA protocol into JGroups. The protocol to be 
used is org.jgroups.protocols.tomTOA.

If a message has an AnycastAddress (new class) with a list of cluster 
members as destination, and TOA is at the top of the stack config (see 
toa.xml), then that message will be sent with total order (unless flag 
NO_TOTAL_ORDER is set, then the message will be sent as a regular 
anycast message using multiple unicasts).

If an RPC is sent with a destination list and 
RequestOptions.use_anycast_addrs=true, then we'll also use TOA to 
establish total order.

This is probably only interesting for Mircea (integrating TOA into 
Infinispan) and Pedro (seeing if his changes to CommandAwareDispatcher 
and the interceptor) can be simplified.

Do you guys need a release, e.g. 3.1.0.Beta1 ?

Cheers,
