The release notes of Infinispan 8 describes a new feature: Staggered remote gets.
These are described in the user guide:
11.4. Distribution Mode
The remote GET requests are staggered: we request the value from the primary owner, but if it doesn’t respond in a reasonable amount of time, we request the value from the backup owners as well.
This feature is documented for the Distribution Mode only.
- Is this feature used for Replicated Mode as well?
- Generally speaking: Is it safe to assume that replicated caches are a special case of distributed caches?
