So actually spending more than a few seconds of thought, just adding a lock to the chm before acquiring it is sufficient and efficient. Really the only loss compared to computeIfAbsent is the cost of lock object instantiation. If you use computeIfAbsent you might want to add a fast path initial acquire (volatile write vs the typical state CAS) to the ownablelock (if not already there) _______________________________________________ infinispan-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/infinispan-dev
