Does anyone have any real world experience with Hazelcast distributed data grid and execution product? How has it worked for you? It has an astonishingly simple API and functionality that seems almost to good to be true for such a simple to use tool. I have done some very simple apps and it seems to work as advertised so far. So here I am looking for the real world 'reality check'. Thank you.

We've been using it in production since version 1.8+, using mainly the distributed locking feature. It works great, we've found a couple of workarounds/bugs, but those were fixed relatively fast.

With 1.8M locks per day we found no problems so far.

I recommend start using version 1.9.4.4.
