Simple open source DHT implementation in Java for learning purposes

Question

I'm looking for recommendations for a simple open source implementation of a Distributed Hash Table in Java to play around with. No fancy features, just for learning purposes, no production functionality needed. It should be simple to set up (e.g. 1 physical machine with n-JVMs) and well documented preferably with some examples, tutorials or starting guides.

Research yields these candidates: FreePastry and OpenChord but I'm not fully convinced they meet my criteria simplicity-wise.

Have you got any experience with these or other implementations? Recommendations?

Thanks & adios
