[Pedro Ruivo (JIRA)]

     [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-445?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Pedro Ruivo closed ISPN-445.
----------------------------
    Resolution: Won't Fix


It won't be done for the following reasons:
* could make the stored data inconsistency if a thread advances without a lock.
* locks in JDK does not allow to steal them from other threads.
* full_xa + recovery allows a sysadmin to force a transaction rollback, releasing any locks.

> When a lock is acquired, no mechanism ensure that it is reclaimed later.
> So if for whatever reason the thread owning the lock is stuck in an endless loop or waiting for some resource, the entry is locked. This kind of situation could happen in cache stores trying to contact a remote storage.
> The risk is quite high that other entries may be locked as well if you use lock stripping (default : TRUE)
