[infinispan-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Updated: (ISPN-976) TopologyAwareConsistentHash does not work when numOwners=1 and rehashing

[Mircea Markus (JIRA)]

     [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-976?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Mircea Markus updated ISPN-976:
-------------------------------

    Description: 
Specifically, the problem is with getStateProvidersOnLeave.
 
Assume you have nodes 1, 2, and 4.
Now node 3 joins.
This method will iterate over each address and will skip the joiner (node3).
For the remaining nodes it will call getOwners
e.g. - getOwners(node1), getOwners(node2), getOwners(node3)
This method will always begin by adding the first node in the tailMap which is the address that is being iterated over. Since numOwners is set to 1 it skips the while loop and returns the result.
So...
getOwners(1) returns {node1}
getOwners(2) returns {node2}
getOwners(4) returns {node4}
Now we return to getStateProvidersOnLeave
It now checks to see if the result contains the joiner (node3). However, it can never contain the joiner.


  was:
Problem is fully described here: http://community.jboss.org/message/590754#590754
Setting prio to minor as there's not a lot of sense in having numOwners=1 and TACH.
