[infinispan-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (ISPN-1212) Improved PING and FD protocols for the testsuite

[Galder Zamarreño (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-1212?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12612036#comment-12612036 ] 

Galder Zamarreño commented on ISPN-1212:
----------------------------------------

Another thing that could be useful for the testsuite is around those timing related tests.

- Instead of relying on timing, we could rely on notifications. So, if you have a key=k1 that has to be live for 10 seconds, wait for a notification that the entry has been expired, probably via a listener. That way we'd avoid completely thread scheduling issues. However, Sanne's code that checks that a key is present until just before those 10 seconds and then waits for a much bigger time for the data to disappear works for the moment.

> Create:
> - INFINISPAN_TEST_PING: use thread locals to maintain cluster membership since all tests run in same JVM. This would make discovery rock solid and would make the testsuite more robust.
> - INFINISPAN_TEST_FD: instead of relying on pings to check whether the node is there, attach a cache or cache manager listener to detect when a cache stops or fails and propagate that information back to the membership.
