locate API

[itayhindy]

Hi all,

The locate API on the DistributionManager returns a list of owners of the object.

I wanted to know:

1 - if the server that was one of the owners is down, will it still be on that list?

2 - is the list is ordered all the time?

3 - is there a way to know who is the primary owner?

Thanks in advance

Re 1. Nope

Re 2. As long as the view is constant, locate on particular key will return the list in same order.

Re 3. There's not a separation between primary and secundary in Infinispan. There's a number of nodes where data must reside and the list will contain as many nodes as needed to satisfy the number of copies.
