[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of JBossCache] - Re: state transfer failure handling

[bstansberry@jboss.com]

My feeling on this is still about a -0; i.e. I think its better to just do it atomically but I don't feel strongly about it.  Doing it non-atomically requires careful coding that's going to be easy for later maintainers to break.

Also, the use case I described where continuing after failure is valid is based on the fact that the persistent data is "gold" while the in-memory data is just a speed optimization.  That means that if the persistent transfer fails, the transferred in-memory data needs to be removed.
