Hi Galder,

thank you for your response. I can serialize the parameters that I passed in 
the constructor upon first start, but they remain the same upon a failover and 
recreation of the Callable, so I can not get any new info based on the 
failover. As I mentioned in my example (though maybe not very smart), how can I 
say to my Callable that it does not start for the first time but rather it was 
restarted. Or any other data that depends on the specific conditions of the 
failover (e.g. Callable needs to know a new ip or port that was determined in 
the FailoverPolicy based on the available targets...).

Thanks,
Strahinja Lazetic

Hi Strahinja,

Glad to hear that you're using Infinispan in your master thesis :)

I have some reservations about adding these methods.

You can create a custom distributed callable, so why not pass in this info on 
construction of the callable, and make sure it's serialized so these parameters 
are available when these classes are sent to other nodes?

Cheers,
