Hi Isuru, Thanks for your feedback, yes what you have pointed out is correct. However IMO locks are only there for synchronizing logic against multiple threads. There are not used for validating logic: try { acquireLock(); validateInputs(); executeLogic(); finally { releaseLock(); }

Hi Isuru, Let me re-clarify the above point again, IMO when a block of code is trying to acquire a lock, the lock acquiring process should not fail due to any reason. The best way to do this is to create lock objects on demand. Lock object removal process works as it was before, when removing serv

Hi Devs, I see an issue with topology hierarchy locking behaviour. The problem is that topology lock objects are created at the time services and clusters are created. IMO this is error prone, now with the latest codebase I can see error logs saying "topology lock not found". Ideally locks should
