>             Project: Karaf
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: cellar-core
>    Affects Versions: cellar-2.2.2, cellar-2.2.1
>            Reporter: Ioannis Canellos
>             Fix For: cellar-3.0.0, cellar-2.2.4

>
> Groups are stored in a distributed collection. Each group object keeps 
> internally a set of members (the nodes that are registered to the group). If 
> a group is registered simultaneously by two or more nodes, the group object 
> will be overwritten. The result will be that the members that were registered 
> in the object that was overwritten will be lost.
> Exactly the same issue can occur with nodes registering for remote services.
> Please note, that this is also a problem when two clusters are getting merged.
> This issue will probably never trigger when instances are started manually or 
> on relatively small size clusters, but its a problem in cloud deployments of 
> 10+ nodes.
> One solution would be to use a distributed lock before accessing these 
> collections, but this won't solve the case of the clusters that merge.
> The alternative solution would be to refactor cellar and keep node 
> registrations in separate collections. So instead of having a collection of 
> groups and keep nodes inside the Group object, we could have a collection of 
> group and a multimap of nodes (the key will be the the name and the value 
> will be the nodes). We will need to check first how hazelcast multi map merge 
> is handled by Hazelcast. If upon muti map merges the value objects are 
> overriden instead of appended we will have to work this out the other way 
> around. By other way around I mean having the groups & dist. services as part 
> of the node.
