> Following 2 optimizations might be implemented with respect to transactions.
> 1) From an email on infinispan-dev (horizon-dev actually):
> if there are only two members int the cluster always use an 1PC. If the 1st phase fails remotely, then also rollback locally. This would reduce one network roundtrip.
> While this is an interesting thought, it does raise the potential for race conditions - since this decision will have to be taken in the TxInterceptor in the beforeCompletion phase of a transaction, and by the time the call gets to the interceptor for replication, the topology may have changed such that you need to replicate to 2 instead of 1 other peer.  Which would mean a 2PC again.  So it does need some thought.
> 2)  when asked to prepare, a participant might return a value indicating that no changes were made (read-only participant), so this one won't need an commit message, so less roundtrip.
