In TCPPING.init(), we set return_entire_cache=true.

However, ergonomics can change that to false, in the superclass.

SOLUTION: even with ergonomics=true, the decision of TCPPING to set return_entire_cache to true needs to be respected.

Hi,

With a move to JGroups 2.11.0.GA I get a about dozen test failures locally in Infinispan test suite. I made no changes to tcp.xml configuration file. Upon closer inspection I noticed that message are sometimes getting dropped at discovery phase since logical names did not get mapped to physical addresses. In order to alleviate such cases JGroups has return_entire_cache boolean flag in all discovery protocols. If return_entire_cache is true the entire cache of these mappings is returned to a joining node upon join request.

However, JGroups 2.11 also has ergonomics protocol attribute (true by default) and if we are dealing with small clusters (<10 nodes) return_entire_cache is set to false during runtime despite return_entire_cache being preset to true by default in TCPPING (see Discovery#down).

After I set ergonomics="false" for TCPPING a local run of Infinispan test suite passed with zero failures or skipped tests!

What should we do?
