    org.jboss.cache.lock.TimeoutException in write / read intens

    inrusu


      Hi there,

      Trying my luck with JBossCache 1.4.1.SP1 on a Websphere 6.1.0.3 cluster with 2 nodes each node with 1 server. The OS on both machines is
      Windows XP Professional SP2.

      I'm using the replSync-service.xml configuration file supplied in download ( etc\META-INF folder ). I've changed only the
      cache mode to INVALIDATION_SYNC because I need the sync happen sync and REPL_SYNC was too slow.

      I'm running some tests which do both cache read / write I'm getting lots of org.jboss.cache.lock.TimeoutException
      when acquiring locks.

      The scenario in which the TimeOut occurs is the following :

      All the operations occur on a TreeCache with one node with one entry only in the node:

      in Node1 modify a node
      - the invalidation msg is snd

      in Node2 the WL is acquired by a user thread
      - the invalidation msg is rcv
      - the JGroups thread tries to put a WL and fails with a time out which is send to Node1

      ..... and this keeps going on.


      What are the recomandations in this situations ( indeed this is an extrem situations with some many updates on the same entry ):

      1. increase the timeout period ( the current one is zero )
      2. use optimistic locking ( how can I configure it ?)
      3. other ?

      Thanks
