Hi, I've just sent a pull request for Hot Rod protocol version 1.1: https://github.com/infinispan/infinispan/pull/592 This basically allows to reduce both memory and bandwith when it comes to maintaining and shipping Hot Rod topology information. See https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-1408 for more info. I'm sending this email to get feedback on the protocol changes that can be see in: https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/ISPN/Hot+Rod+Protocol+-+Version+1.1 The sections that have changed have been noted with "Updated for 1.1" Cheers, -- Galder Zamarreño Sr. Software Engineer Infinispan, JBoss Cache
