Wouldn't it be worth mentioning the lack of referential integrity among the limitations? Anyway, thumbs up!

I understand that you don't want to scare users off, but I would mention that at least in the section about deciding between embedded and Hot Rod: "When connecting to an /Infinispan Server/ over the /Hot Rod client/, the architecture is similar to having Hibernate connect to traditional database: the data is stored on the /Infinispan Server/ nodes, and Hibernate OGM uses a client with a pool of TCP connections to talk to the server." Traditional databases are transactional, so I would put a notice about no-transactions here, with a link to "9.3.4. Storage Principles of the Infinispan Remote dataprovider" Most people probably understand what *is* the loss of referential integrity, but 9.3.4 is not really specific *when* does this happen. As you speak about "interrupting Hibernate OGM", I would assume that this is limited to a case when some operation fails (due to network breakage), but it's not clear that this can happen even with successful concurrent operations. Therefore, an example that can lead to broken integrity could be useful, along with information about concurrent operations that are safe (basically saying that if each session uses distinct set of entities, you are safe).

Is there any option to detect (and fix) the problems? (by a batch job...?)
