In a test I have several tasks that run on a single cache node configured as transactional pessimistic replicated cache. If I explicitly call "unlock" then I consistently see TimeoutException reported by some tasks. Without explicit "unlock" the test works fine. Does it mean that I should never call "unlock" and rely on transaction.commit/rollback ? It's seen with infinispan-5.1.2.FINAL

Here's what in a nutshell each task does:

final lockKey = ...

executor.submit(new Callable<Boolean>()   {

   public Boolean call() throws Exception

      TransactionManager tx = cache.getAdvancedCache().getTransactionManager(); 

      tx.begin()

      try {

          if ( lockManager.lock(lockKey) ) {

             // ...

             // removing next line makes test happy. Otherwise some tasks report TimeoutException (pls. see the stack traces)

             cache.getLockManager().unlock(lockKey);      

          }

      }   catch(Throwable t) {

          tx.setRollbackOnly();

      }  finally {

          if (ut.getStatus() == Status.STATUS_ACTIVE)

              ut.commit();

          else

             ut.rollback();

      }

By the time I received that exception all other tasks were completed and they released the lock on the key in question.

I also see that LockManagerImpl.lock recognized that the lock was not owned by any thread - see "Lock held by [null]", which seems to be right. But yet the lock failed to be acquired.

Is it a matter to trying it one more time?

Is it a known issue or it's unsupported pattern?
