[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (JGRP-1461) SEQUENCER leaks sequence numbers

[Bela Ban (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JGRP-1461?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12691691#comment-12691691 ] 

Bela Ban commented on JGRP-1461:
--------------------------------

I'm making the necessary changes as we speak... I think SeqnoTable should only check if the current seqno is the expected one and if the current seqno is smaller than the next to be delivered (and trash it if true)

At some point, I'd like to do a code review of SEQUENCER, would you be interested ?
Are you on #jgroups @ irc.freenode.net ?

> As noted in JGRP-1458, it looks as though SEQUENCER always thinks that sequence numbers must start at zero.  But a member who joins a group after some messages have already been broadcast may never receive sequence number zero.  So, I think, his SeqnoTable will grow indefinitely.
> Note that this one's mostly through code reading.  I think I'm right; but I'm happy to be told otherwise!
> Pull request to follow shortly.
