[EHC-162] Distributed cache - flushing replicationQueue on dispose Created: 21/Sep/09 Updated: 22/Sep/09 Resolved: 22/Sep/09 Status: Project: Component/s: Affects Version/s: Fix Version/s: Closed Ehcache Core None None Type: Reporter: Resolution: Labels: Remaining Estimate: Time Spent: Original Estimate: Bug Sourceforge Tracker Fixed None Not Specified Ehcache Priority: Ehcache Resolution: 5 None Assignee: Votes: Issue Review Board 0 Not Specified Not Specified Fixed Description In the case of disposing, the underlying replicationQueue of an (async) distributed cache will be cleared. That means the remaining entries will be discarded. It would be desirable that (it is configurable that) the queue will be flushed to the peers. Current code class RMIAsynchronousCacheReplicator { ... public final void dispose() { status = Status.STATUS_SHUTDOWN; synchronized (replicationQueue) { replicationQueue.clear(); } } ... } Alternative approach?? class RMIAsynchronousCacheReplicator { ... public final void dispose() { status = Status.STATUS_SHUTDOWN; if (flushOnDispose) { flushReplicationQueue(); } else { synchronized (replicationQueue) { replicationQueue.clear(); } } } ... } Sourceforge Ticket ID: 1684223 - Opened By: nobody - 20 Mar 2007 10:01 UTC Comments Comment by Sourceforge Tracker [ 21/Sep/09 ] Logged In: YES user_id=693320 Originator: NO Hi This is an oversight in the implementation. I think /** Give the replicator a chance to flush the replication queue, then cleanup and free resources when no longer needed */ public final void dispose() { status = Status.STATUS_SHUTDOWN; flushReplicationQueue(); } does the job. I am not sure why we would want to make this a configuration option. There should be an expectation that it might take a distributed cache a few seconds to shut down.
