Sudharma, 1) At what point is DeploymentPoller blocking? Can you enable debug logs on hazelcast and watch.
As per the documentation, http://docs.hazelcast.org/docs/latest/javadoc/com/hazelcast/core/IMap.html#lock%28K%29 "You get a lock whether the value is present in the map or not. Other threads (possibly on other systems) would block on their invoke of lock() until the non-existent key is unlocked. If the lock holder introduces the key to the map, the put() operation is not blocked. If a thread not holding a lock on the non-existent key tries to introduce the key while a lock exists on the non-existent key, the put() operation blocks until it is unlocked. " If indeed the scenario after your investigation is same as per the documentation, then in DeploymentPoller first go for the tryLock and if lock is true and then use putIfAbsent. 2) If there are issues with 3.5, revert back to earlier version. regards, sathwik On Tue, Jun 23, 2015 at 10:14 AM, sudharma subasinghe <suba...@cse.mrt.ac.lk > wrote: > Hi Sathwik, > > I modified the code and tested it with two nodes cluster.
