[jbosscache-dev] Re: JBossCache & REPL_SYNC

[Manik Surtani]

Bela,

(cc'ing the jbosscache dev list)

Sounds like a good idea and definitely easy enough to implement, but  
playing devils advocate, doesn't this completely undermine the  
meaning of "Synchronous Replication"?  REPL_SYNC provides a guarantee  
that the method would not return until replication is complete to all  
cluster nodes.  With this, that guarantee won't be there.

Perhaps it should be a separate cache mode - REPL_SEMISYNC (*) ?

Has this specifically come up as a request somewhere?


(*) - terrible name!!
