Thanks Larry and others for joining the discussion this morning. This
was a very interesting topic.

Here are some follow-up questions (to promote asynchronous discussions).
- Please post the presentation to User Experience Wiki for future
reference. Also, remember to take out the "confidential" message from
the slide deck.
- From the user experience perspective, requiring users to name server
instances in a special way for in-memory replication feature is not a
good thing (see slide 11). This gets very hard with large cluster where
multiple server instances may be running on the same host. I think we
need to fix this in v2.
- With the location transparent design approach, we seem to be
replicating the session twice in some cases (slide 18) to transfer
ownership. Have we looked at how much time it takes to perform a
failover? In other words, is there a benifit to our design approach?
- I liked the zero configuration by default approch. Thanks!
- We ran out of time in the meeting. You mentioned about using a
life-cycle module and properties. Could you please describe the
configuration and how end user is expected to setup a cluster with
in-memory replication support using CLI or GUI?
