34.3. Split Brain Timing: Recovering From a Split

The amount of time taken in the formulas above is how long it takes JBoss Data Grid to install a cluster view without the leavers; however, as JBoss Data Grid runs inside a JVM excessive Garbage Collection (GC) times can increase this time beyond the failure detection outlined above. JBoss Data Grid has no control over these GC times, and excessive GC on the coordinator can delay this detection by an amount equal to the GC time.

In addition, when merging cluster views JBoss Data Grid tries to confirm all members are present; however, there is no upper bound on waiting for these responses, and merging the cluster views may be delayed due to networking issues.
