Infinispan 8.0.1 crashing when I remove a member from the cluster

Question

I am using play framework version 2.3.8 and the plugin(https://github.com/n4cer/playInfinispanCachePlugin) to integrate infinispan(version 8.0.1 with jgroups) in my app for distribution cache. Configuration for the infinispan can be found in the plugin project and I am using S3_PING protocol.

This setup working well until I remove a member from the cluster. When I remove a member from the cluster, other active members in the cluster slowly going down and throwing errors, finally my application is not responding. This issue get resolved when I restart all the members. How to make it work when I remove a member from the cluster?

I see this exception

Answer 1

This should not happen, but you are using a really old version of Infinispan. You should really upgrade to a current version of Infinispan such as 10.1.8.Final. Can you also include logs to help us understand and debug your issue ?
