Hi Ryan,

I understand that infinispan can be used by many platforms/applications. In 
addition, I was not able to find more information as to how infinispan cache 
manager actually work.

What I described is the infinispan embedded in wildfly 10.1.10.Final. This 
observation happened in a cluster of two wildfly 10.1.0.Final instances

Basically, the console output of the wildfly instance that actually made the 
modification of an object printed out update statement (expected). Later on, if 
a user revisit the same object (hotel), the console will not print out any 
query statement. This is expected since the latest data was cached.

For the other wildfly instance(cluster member), if a user visit the same object 
(hotel) first time, a query to select for a specific object(hotel) was printed 
out. This is expected since the cache should be invalidated and query needs to 
be executed to retrieve latest data.  However, when the user repeatedly revisit 
the same object (hotel), the query got printed out again. This will happen 
until a period of time (may be expiration setting).

This observation indicated that the wildfly instance which actually made the 
modification was able retrieve the latest data and cache it again. But the 
wildfly instance that receives the signal (to invalidate cache) indeed 
invalidated the cache, however, it did just that without cache the latest data.

Is this behavior the intended design or some other configuration I need to make 
to ensure the other cluster members can also cache the latest data?

Thanks,

Wayne

Yes a combination of null/non-null entries is detected as a conflict. So in the 
use-case you describe, utilising the REMOVE_ALL strategy would result in the 
cache entry being removed from the cache on merge.

Cheers
