For example, I'd like to get some clarification on the scope of the context object:
@Will, will the solution you provided in [2] deal with multiple JGroups marshalling request callbacks? Or is it only designed for a single marshalling request callback coming from JGroups tgat contains a CacheStatusResponse map? Since it's a thread local is not easy to see what's the lifespan of these instances stored in the thread local... The simplest thing would be to have a new context created for each JGroups marshalling request. However, more optimizations could be achieved from: 1. For non-transaction operations, a context per operation. So if a cache.put() results in two operations being serialized (get to return previous value, and put itself), then the context could expand those two serializations. 2. For transaction operations, a context per transaction. @Sanne, would this be enough for you? In your [4] dev post you seem to want to go beyond marshalling into how we'd keep references of objects in memory, e.g. if a String is repeated in many places, have a way to centralise that storage in memory itself.
