             Summary: RSVP: add option to not block caller
                 Key: JGRP-1851
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JGRP-1851
             Project: JGroups
          Issue Type: Feature Request
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
            Reporter: Bela Ban
            Assignee: Bela Ban
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 3.5


In RSVP we have a {{resend_interval}} at which empty messages are sent to trigger retransmission and a {{timeout}} which is the max time a caller will block until all acks have been received.
In the {{down()}} method, the caller blocks until all acks have been received or a timeout occured. Then the resend task is stopped and the entry removed from the {{ids}} map.
In some cases, we may want to not block the caller, so that the calling thread returns immediately, but nevertheless perform resending until all acks have been received or the timeout occurred. This is a new property {{block}}.
