-----------------------------------------

             Summary: Provide cache view history
                 Key: ISPN-3328
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-3328
             Project: Infinispan
          Issue Type: Feature Request
          Components: Core API
    Affects Versions: 5.3.0.Final
            Reporter: Richard Achmatowicz
            Assignee: Mircea Markus
            Priority: Minor

In a clustered context, having information on the sequence of views which an application participated in and the membership of those views can be useful for post-mortem debugging as well as monitoring.

At present, JGroups provides such information (e.g. see GMS.printPreviousViews) for group membership at the channel level in the form of a bounded sequence of previous views, as well as a bounded sequence of previous members. This makes it easy to confirm that expected sequences of membership changes have actually occurred. 

Having a similar history for Infinispan caches would provide the same benefit at the cache level.   

Motivation: I would like to expose such information as part of the cluster subsystem if possible (see WFLY-1430).
