Good point!

I agree and I think we were looking at different dimensions: the consistency/partition tolerance story (the "distributed system" bits) seem more thought out in Sirius while the variety of data structures and connectors look more built up in HazelCast.

This may be an issue of documentation as well: Because it's built more "vertically" with a large consumer-facing cross-section (lots of data structures stacked over each other), the HazelCast documentation seems to be very use-oriented while the Sirius documentation focuses on the fundamentals.

Yeah, I definitely use hazelcast for the variety of data structures.

I personally use it for a variety of tasks including distributed locks, a task tracker (think like hadoop) and for phases. If you're curious, here's the impl I'm talking about:

This is to augment an akka clustering distributed run time.
