[infinispan-dev] Ditching ASYNC modes for REPL/DIST/INV/CacheStores?

[Dennis Reed]

It would be a loss of functionality.

As a common example, the AS web session replication cache is configured 
for ASYNC by default, for performance reasons.
But it can be changed to SYNC to guarantee that when the request 
finishes that the session was replicated.

That wouldn't be possible if you could no longer switch between 
ASYNC/SYNC with just a configuration change.

This would reduce the complexity and configuration of our code base, without affecting our functionality, and it would make things more logical IMO.
