---------------------------------------

I've added an FAQ: http://community.jboss.org/wiki/InfinispanTechnicalFAQs#I_have_caches_configured_with_asynchronous_replication_or_distribution_but_these_caches_appear_to_be_behaving_synchronously_waiting_for_responses_what_is_going_on

> Enabling state transfer is forcing even asynchronous caches to become synchronous.
> A better way is needed to make sure state transfer works correctly (sync calls needed here) while normal replication calls remain asynchronous.
> See https://github.com/infinispan/infinispan/blob/master/core/src/main/java/org/infinispan/remoting/transport/jgroups/CommandAwareRpcDispatcher.java#L254 where the response mode is overridden based on whether replay is supported.  And replay support is always on when state transfer is enabled:
> https://github.com/infinispan/infinispan/blob/master/core/src/main/java/org/infinispan/remoting/rpc/RpcManagerImpl.java#L101
> Need to explore whether a joiner flag can be maintained based on a view change, and replay only supported when a joiner is still "joining", and not otherwise.
