Thanks Guys for responding on a quick reply. HBase is indeed my first love
:)

I was really interested in what DirectMemory could offer and am excited to
see that its pretty awesome. I posed that question because I wasn't really
sure as to what the rules were on the incubator :)  Great to know I could
get started right away. Shall start digging thru the code.

I went through the road map and have a few questions:

1. File Storage -
This was my main concern. This moves more towards a database approach or to
be more specific Key Value store approach  Aren't there existing file based
solutions which can be used instead of developing another one?

2. Hazelcast for replication -
If i get this right the idea to use it more like a replication framework and
then use that to cache them onto the DirectMemory on the respective systems
?

Lastly "I recently rewrote DM entirely for simplification." +1 on the fact
of simplification.
As Einstien once said " Make things as simple as possible, not simpler" :)

Cheers,
Akash A
