Erik Salter commented on ISPN-1581:
-----------------------------------

As an update, further testing this morning showed we could break the existing implementation with just 2 nodes leaving.

> The current implementation of ISPN-1484 will retry up to 3 times to retry a commit on a remote node.  This is resilient to 3 state transfers happening in rapid succession.  However, if the cluster loses > 3 nodes, there can still be stale locks.
> This is evident in testing this with the TopologyAwareConsistentHash.  I lost a "site" consisting of 4 nodes, and I was able to get stale locks.
