Seems like it's JIRA time this week...

Anyway, Infinispan allows local put operations to succeed on caches whose status is TERMINATED:

The following test fails for the wrong reasons:

Cache cache = cacheManager.getCache();
cache.put("k", "v");
cache.stop();
Cache cache2 = cacheManager.getCache();
cache2.put("k", "v2");
assert "v2".equals(cache2.get("k"));
assert cache2.getStatus() == ComponentStatus.RUNNING : "Cache should be running, but it's not, it's status is" + cache2.getStatus();

It fails cos the status is TERMINATED. However, if you look closely you'll see that a put for v2 was allowed after cache was stopped and that the value put was retrieved in the get after it.

This came from building a unit test to replicate http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-5563
