This would reduce the code size significantly... This is not the same as replicated mode. With numOwners > cluster size N, we send N unicasts for updates. This is inefficient, a multicast is much better here. Also, for gets, we pick a node, which might not be the local node, whereas in replicated mode, we always pick the local node. Plus, we'd have to de-activate the entire rebalancing code, as it's not needed in replicated mode. One thought though is to see if we should (internally) switch to replicated mode if numOwners > cluster size. A bit dangerous though because if this condition changes (e.g. more nodes are addded), we'd have to switch back... -- Bela Ban Lead JGroups / Clustering Team JBoss _______________________________________________ infinispan-dev mailing list infinispan-dev@lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/infinispan-dev
