I heard the Tangosol party was very loud - can’t stand a loud get together. However it does seem to be the JavaOne legend, and for that I’m sorry to have missed it.

Henri: “Best party? The Eclipse one. Nice big bar, open bar, lots of beer bar. Both suits and scruffs fit in and chat.”

You didn’t get to the Tangosol party, then .. completely open bar, actual food, a very unique band (with their own hand-made unique instruments), and a great group of people
Peace.

Ah…thanks again. I think the 80/20 thing is a fair statement as well.

I meant “hack” as in ‘clever idea’.

Clustering by transparently going underneath the application rather than trying to enforce a framework for the applications to adhere to. It sounds like it’s both easier for the user and easier for their development.

I presume it’s something that obeys the 80/20 rule, being a great solution for the common 80% of problems.

Not trying to be argumentative, but what do you mean by when you describe Terracotta as a “hack”? thanks.
