How does the Group Master plugin handle cluster locking to ensure safe operations

The Group Master plugin uses a cluster-locking mechanism to ensure safe and coordinated group management across a clustered Jira environment. This mechanism:

• Prevents Concurrent Modifications: By acquiring a lock before making changes, the plugin avoids conflicts and ensures that multiple nodes do not make conflicting updates simultaneously.

• Maintains Consistency: Locks are released once changes are completed, ensuring that updates are applied consistently across all nodes in the cluster.

• Efficient Locking: The plugin is designed to handle locking efficiently, minimizing any potential impact on Jira's performance and reducing the likelihood of operational delays.

This approach ensures that group management actions are executed safely and consistently across all cluster nodes.
