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

thanks for the clarification, indeed it makes sense to be able to stop a map reduce task before storming all the entries in the cache.

> My attempt was to use the map reduce framework, but it would still scan all the keys and value even if the result as been found. Maybe Infinispan could provide a way to "stop" the map-reduce operation on all nodes when asked, ex, when the first non null value has been found ?
