Reading data on ABORT_ONLY transaction

[anatoly.sat]

Hello everyone

We have a need to read data on a transaction that is in ABORT_ONLY state.

By checking JBoss Cache 3.x we see that it is permitted but when using Infinispan it gives the following error

ISPN000136: Error executing command GetKeyValueCommand, writing keys []: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Transaction TransactionImple < ac, BasicAction: 0:ffff7f000101:-36e6e1c9:595b5ee2:2f status: ActionStatus.ABORT_ONLY > is not in a valid state to be invoking cache operations on.

Using Infinispan version: 8.2.4

Can you please suggest what is the best behavior to allow following for Infinispan?

Hi Anatoly,

Since Infinispan 4 we don't allow operations to proceed if the transaction isn't active (i.e. running). The reason for that is to avoid allocating transactional resources in Infinispan that will be discarded later.

In your case, the transaction is marked for rollback, so why do you want to execute operations on it? What is your use case?

Said that, Infinispan can be changed to allow operation on that state. If you really need it, you can open a JIRA - JBoss Issue Tracker with your use case.

Cheers,

Pedro
