[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBCACHE-471) Handle JGroups MERGE

[Ben Wang (JIRA)]

    [ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBCACHE-471?page=comments#action_12344843 ] 
            
Ben Wang commented on JBCACHE-471:
----------------------------------

Should we just define an API callback and leave it to the user to implement it? We can provide a simple default policy implementation where the new coordinator will always win, e.g., copy its state to everybody again? I think the user can come up with more sphosticated algorithm to contribute back.

> When JGroups needs to do a merge due to a temporary break in the group structure, JGroups does not handle the merging of data.  This is usually left up to the application to handle.
> JBossCache should support pluggable merge policies, we could provide some simple merge policies and allow users to write their own.
> 1.  Evict on merge policy - when a merge occurs, evict the entire in-memory state.  Useful for Hibernate or when used with a shared cache loader.
> 2.  Other merge algos ... ?
