I think the discussion is pointless without clearing up what the 
expected semantics of a batch should be and what the expected advantages 
over individual invocations should be.
A batch is just a glorified putAll which also supports removes. All 
write ops are queued locally and are then sent in groups to the 
respective owners. What you get is deferred invocations and 1 remote 
invocation per unique owner. What you don't get is atomicity and 
isolation. You should use transactions for that.
