             Summary: Make Cache.evict() a cluster-wide operation
                 Key: ISPN-4134
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-4134
             Project: Infinispan
          Issue Type: Enhancement
          Components: Eviction
    Affects Versions: 6.0.2.Final
            Reporter: Paul Ferraro
            Assignee: Dan Berindei


Personally, I have never fully understood why Cache.evict() is a local-only operation.

If a user wants to perform a cluster-wide evict, they need to implement their own RPC mechanism in order to perform the eviction on each node.  Within WildFly, there are at least 2 use cases for such an operation.

Why not instead make Cache.evict() a cluster-wide operation?  The existing (i.e. local-only) behavior can always achieved via:
AdvancedCache.withFlags(Flag.CACHE_MODE_LOCAL).evict(...)
