[infinispan-dev] Distributed execution framework

[Jeff Ramsdale]

Hi Manik,

I would certainly share any useful work with the community. However,
my available time to work on it has been limited and although I was
able to prove the basic idea I wasn't able to go very deep. I was able
to start Infinispan in a Rio container (Cybernode) and I had hoped to
run multiple instances on several Cybernodes to build a cluster, etc.,
but ran out of time. I'll try to get it working again. The amount of
code required is actually quite small, but it needs some configuration
and infrastructure and I'm no expert with either Rio or Infinispan.
Will let you know of my progress, but don't let me slow down your own
explorations.

By the way, this deployment to Rio explains my asking on another
thread about how to run the REST server outside of a servlet
container. I would like to be able to control with service
configuration in Rio which servers are exposed by a given Infinispan
cluster.

The document is a gentle introduction to the subject of distributed execution and as such is accessible to wider audience. Eager to hear your thoughts.
