callRemoteMethodsWithFuture question

[awindillman]

It appears that callRemoteMethodsWithFuture wants to return the whole list of responses. We need to receive the responses as they become available. However we only want to send one RPC [via multicast] for bandwidth reasons. The functionality we're looking for is probably there, but we're missing it.

Thanks in advance for a pointer.

I am afraid this is not currently implemented in JGroups, i.e. a remote call that uses a multicast that returns a list of futures (i.e. a future for each response).

For what it's worth, in WildFly, we have implemented a CommandDispacher - see https://docs.wildfly.org/35/High_Availability_Guide.html#command-dispatcher which returns Map<Node, CompletionStage<String>> responses = dispatcher.executeOnGroup(...), however, that does not use multicast, but unicast.
