[jira] [Commented] (GEODE-7416) region.create(k, v) doesn't throw EntryExistsException for PROXY region

Charlie Black commented on GEODE-7416:
--------------------------------------

This sounds like it is working as designed.    The put is checked against the memory of the actor that is doing the put.   In the case of a client doing the put that has a proxy region `create` will always work since there is no data.    If the client is caching proxy it may or may not return the right answer since the "key" that was doing the put could be in the system from another actor in the distributed system.

 

If you are looking for something more strict putIfAbsent() will check and see if a key exists in the system and only do the put if there isn't a key there already.

 

I am going to close this ticket as the system is working as intended.    If you would like to change behavior lets work with the community and open a proposal for change on the dev list.

> When an entry exists in the cache server, region.create(k, v) from client doesn't throw EntryExistsException if client region is *PROXY*. It updates the existing value instead of throwing exception. If the client region is *CACHING_PROXY*, it works as expected.
> Testing environment:
> Client: Geode 1.6
> Server: Geode 1.7
