    • DataGrid Sprint #29

      Consider 2 nodes, A & B, containing a single cache entry with

      {key = K, value = 1}

      Consider 2 application threads (X & Y) accessing the key = K:

      1. X starts tx on A
      2. X reads key = K using FORCE_WRITE_LOCK, returning value = 1
      3. X updates key = K with value = 2
      4. Y starts tx on B
      5. Y reads key = K using FORCE_WRITE_LOCK
      6. X commits tx

      #5 should block until #6 is complete and return 2. However, it returns 1.
