Hi, I am Dong Yang, and my apache account is twosand. What we are using Gemfire is not commonly usage scenario in other company, it's more like a OLTP and OLAP mixed scenario. The concept is very similar to using Spark-Gemfire connect, we have some server-side function that can shuffle data from server to client as stream style. And we encountered the thread lock issue in different environments. Before we use Gemfire8 , now we are upgrading to GemFrie9. About GEODE-5896, it's very important usage for us, and I think the same for others if they want using spark to connect to Gemfire. Now we just do some patch at client-side the force the meta ready before function executed. But the perfect solution should fix some sever-side code. I can share what I found and where I want to fix, you can review it , resonale or not . Fix it by current geode team or I can do it as a contributor.
