[infinispan-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (ISPN-5035) DeltaAware support for conditional operations

[Radim Vansa (JIRA)]

Radim Vansa commented on ISPN-5035:
-----------------------------------

But I understand that DeltaAware API may not be the best tool - it's simply limited. Let's focus this JIRA on the aspect that it is not supported in ReplaceCommand, rather than that it returns always the full value.

> Current delta-aware approach is implemented only in PutKeyValueCommand and ApplyDeltaCommand. This implementation does not allow to execute conditional delta-aware commands - or rather it does not allow to return any kind of value (the condition itself can be implemented inside the delta).
> One use-case when this would be required is equivalent of AtomicLong.getAndIncrement(). Currently we can implement this using
> {code}
> Long previous;
> do {
>     previous = cache.get(key);
> } while (cache.replace(key, previous, previous + 1);
> {code}
> which requires at least two RPCs. With more generic interface, such as JCache's EntryProcessor this could be implemented using single RPC.
> (so, this JIRA is basically a request to native support for EntryProcessor)
