[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (JGRP-1509) GMS: low leave_timeout may cause incorrect view installation

[Bela Ban (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JGRP-1509?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12717380#comment-12717380 ] 

Bela Ban commented on JGRP-1509:
--------------------------------

Actually, I correctr myself: a merge protocol should always be in the config, so even if the final view from A is not received by all members, the merge protocol will eventually merge the deviating views into a consolidated MergeView.

> - {A}
> - B joins, then C, the view is A2={A,B,C}
> - *No* messages are sent
> - GMS.leave_timeout=100
> - NAKACK2.xmit_interval=1000
> - A leaves gracefully (JChannel.disconnect())
> - A multicasts B3={B,C}, the seqno is #3
> - B discarded A#2 (view {A,B,C}), as it was not yet server
> - B now asks A for retransmission of #2 before it can deliver #3 (the new view)
> (- The retransmission kicks in ca. every 1 sec)
> - However, A is gone, so C will loop asking A to retransmit #3 and will therefore never install view B2 !
