[infinispan-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (ISPN-2139) ping_on_startup ignored

[Galder Zamarreño (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-2139?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12705355#comment-12705355 ] 

Galder Zamarreño commented on ISPN-2139:
----------------------------------------

@Dan, @Michal, thx for the clarifications.

There's two ways to fix this:
1. Make ping be a retry-on-failure operation, but that's not really the intention of the operation. The idea of ping is to check whether a particular server is up or down. As Michal said, we're reusing ping to check whether a cache name is defined in the remote server too.
2. Make the cache name in getCache() be controllable by ping_on_startup. This sounds more sensible.

> When a configuration property 
> infinispan.client.hotrod.ping_on_startup=false
> is passed to the properties of RemoteCacheManager, this
> avoids ping in RemoteCacheManager.start() but
> RemoteCacheManager.getCache() does ping without checking this property
> and thus rendering this setting useless for scenario
> where we want to specify
> infinispan.client.hotrod.server_list
> with list of servers with some of the servers possibly not available yet.
> In such case we would expect the client to failover to first working server
> and retrying the first operation we want to do with the cache.
