How to disable the state transfer for the Cache mode INVALIDATION_ASYNC ?

[chillax]

We get many errors for the state transfer, although we use the INVALIDATION_ASYNC cache mode and do not want the state transfer to take place between the nodes on the clusters. The errors are like below:

I suppose there shouldn't be any state transfer when using the INVALIDATION_ASYNC cache mode.

From the documentation of org.infinispan.configuration.cacheStateTransferConfigurationBuilder.stateTransfer():

Configure the stateTransfer sub element for distributed and replicated caches.It doesn't have any effect on LOCAL or INVALIDATION-mode caches.

So why is it that is doing the state transfer and is there a way to disable it? We are using infinispan version 9.2.5

I have the same issue still looking for solution.

I have read something about increasing number of threads as workaround but still I cannot get what could be the reason for state transfer in case of invalidation cache.

Hi Ajmal, Ahmed

The documentation is correct, state transfer is always disabled in invalidation caches.

The error message is wrong: the cache was just waiting for the cluster coordinator to confirm that the node has joined the cache, and the topology update message from the coordinator did not arrive in `configuration.clustering().stateTransfer().timeout()` milliseconds.

One possibility is that your stack uses UDP and multicasting, but multicasting does not work in your environment. You may also be hitting a bug in Infinispan. If you can reproduce it with the latest 9.4.x release, please enable DEBUG logging for `org.infinispan` and post the logs and configuration here.
