[infinispan-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (ISPN-2332) Update xsite configuration file

[Bela Ban (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-2332?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12721317#comment-12721317 ] 

Bela Ban commented on ISPN-2332:
--------------------------------

Why not both ? Allow backup strategies to be defined globally, and override them on a per-cache basis. An empty <backups/> or <sites/> means we don't back up a named cache...

This would allow for the following:
- If we want almost all caches to be backed up: define the strategies in the global section and override the named caches that should not get backed up with an empty <backups/>
- If we have predominantly local, non-backed up caches, don't define <backups> in the global section, but instead on a per cache basis.

> Update configuration file after feedback:
> {code:xml}
>  <sites local="LON">
>    <site name="SFO"/>
>    <site name="NYC"/>
>    <site name="LON"/>
>  </sites>
> {code}
> The sites element above are not used and should be dropped.
> Also the local configuration should look like:
> {code:xml}
> <global>
>   <sites>
>        <localSite="${site:LON}" backupSites="${backup-sites:SFO,NYC}" />
>        <backups>
>                 <backup site="NYC" backupFailurePolicy="WARN" 
> strategy="SYNC" timeout="12000"/>
>                 <backup site="SFO" backupFailurePolicy="IGNORE" 
> strategy="ASYNC"/>
>                 <backup site="LON" backupFailurePolicy="IGNORE" 
> strategy="ASYNC"/>
>        </backups>
>    </sites>
> </global>
> {code}
> This would allow re-using of configuration files between sites.
