Thanks Chris ! After a look at the code here's the approach I'm considering
1) Override releaseLock in LockManager to take an extra parameter which can be used to return extra information. 2) Add a doesLockExist method to the LockStore interface and implement that in DbLockStore and WriteAheadStorage 3) Use the doesLockExist method in the implementations of the overridden releaseLock method in LockManager 2) Make SchedulerThriftInterface call the overloaded version of releaseLock in LockManager and add extra information to the response if needed. Does that seem like a reasonable way to proceed ? I have a few questions 1) I'm also a little bit mystified by the LockMapper interface which does not seem to be implemented anywhere. DbLockStore uses this interface. 2) WriteAheadStorage uses a LockStore.Mutable member to implement the actual removeLock method, however I'm unable to figure out which implementation of LockStore.Mutable is being used as the WriteAheadStorage class is instantiated in LogStorage which is instantiated by Guice (Blast!, I thought I'd seen the last of Guice) Thanks, Arunabha On Tue, Jan 27, 2015 at 9:07 PM, Chris Lambert <clamb...@twitter.com.invalid > wrote: > Updated.
