> org.jboss.ha.framework.server.lock.AbstractClusterLockSupport and/or its subclasses need to deal with cluster merges, i.e. AS instances in groups {A, B} and {C, D} discover each other and form a single group {A, B, C, D}. Following a merge, it's possible a node in each of the merged subgroups thinks it has the cluster wide lock.
> A simple approach that *may* work in all cases is to handle a merge by having each node abandon the cluster-wide lock, forcing the next attempt by a local caller to re-acquire the lock. Need to think through though whether that is the correct semantic in all cases.
> AbstractClusterLockSupport needs to implement HAExtendedMembershipListener instead of just HAMembershipListener; this will allow it to know whether a view change was due to a merge.
