    AS Clustering Major Issues

     

    1. Web Tier Clustering

      1. 5.0.0.CR?

        1. Scoping of FIELD granularity pojos

          1. http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-5618

          2. Scope to the session rather than the webapp

          3. Add JBC Region per session, remove in invalidate

          4. clean out junk that resulted from per webapp scoping

            1. Observer mixin

            2. Deploy std PojoCache jboss-aop.xml

            3. Pojo eviction configuration

            4. need new jboss-metadata release

        2. Determine how to clean up persistent store around undeploy/deploy

          1. Check perf impact using region-based marshalling

      2. mod_cluster

        1. http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/ModClusterDesign

        1. (Paul next week???) Integrate my new Hibernate/JBC2 caching impl

          1. Determine what to do with old implementation

          2. Still ship/support in EJB3? (yuck!!)

          3. Extract and preserve for Hibernate 3.2.6 users

      2. Benchmarking (lower priority)

    4. (Paul) Coordinated replication -- Seam case

      1. HttpSession + SFSB + JPA

        1. http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/EJBTHREE-1039

        2. http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-4629

      3. Rationalize clustering metadata

      4. http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=135735

    6. Messaging

      1. 5.0.0.CR2

          1. http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-5341

        2. Benchmark effect of enable_bundling on HTTP session replication

        2. http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-5432

    8. Quality

      1. 5.0.0.GA

          2. EJB3 SFSB http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/EJBTHREE-1429

      2. War on JBC regressions

        1. Add tests in JBC testsuite that specifically exercise AS/EJB3/Hibernate call patterns using configurations that mirror the ones we use

      3. Refactor to allow shift away from overly heavy reliance on integration testing http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-3556

        1. Unit and subcomponent tests

    9. Docs

      1. 5.0.0.GA

        5. Buddy replication!!

        6. Clustered HttpSession passivation

    10. Management

      1. Add clustering management to the embedded console / JON

      2. Critical weakness!!!

    11. Network partitions

      1. Primary partition

        1. Notifications, pluggable policies to allow services/servers to shutdown when their view has less than X members

      2. State merging (lower priority)

    12. Benchmarking

      1. Need a program of consistently runnable benchmarks, currently too manual

        1. Expand on what Dominik's done

        2. Need more scenarios: granularities, triggers, expiration/invalidation

      2. Need EJB3 SFSB as well

    13. Misc

      1. (Paul) Clustered EJB timers
