Hi Yubiao:1. kick out all the connected Shared producers. This same as the mode ExclusiveWithFencing, so the mode WaitForExclusive is no longer needed.I agree this, but that doesn't mean we don't need `WaitForExclusive` . If there was a producer of Exclusive before, WaitForExclusive still has to wait.Baodi Shi

I think that WaitForExclusiveis a soft form of occupation. Just like the read and writer lock, thewriter takes the write lock after all readers released the read lock.This looks like a bug to me.I agree. If some shared producers already exist, then try to registera WaitForExclusive-Modeproducer. we have 3 ways:1. kick out all the connected Shared producers. This same as the modeExclusiveWithFencing, so the mode WaitForExclusive is no longer needed.2. just append the new producer to the waiting queue, and take over as thenew exclusive producer after all shared producers are offline.3. Reject the registration request of the new WaitForExclusive-Mode producer.there has been a pr attempt to do so(#18380).I prefer the second approach because it provides new usage and is closer tothe original design.On Thu, Nov 10, 2022 at 3:13 PM Enrico Olivelli <eolive...@gmail.com> wrote:Yubiao,Il Gio 10 Nov 2022, 07:40 Yubiao Feng <yubiao.f...@streamnative.io.invalid>ha scritto:> Hi all,>> Now if an Exclusive-Mode producer has been registered, we can register> another WaitForExclusive-Mode producer.
