good point :-)
ConsistentHashMembershipChange perhaps?

@ViewChanged  listener is a CacheManager listener, so it's independent of the 
caches in that are in use. It is possible for the CacheManager to wait for all 
its distributed caches to install the view first, and only then dispatch the 
@ViewChange event, 
Not sure that's a good idea in the general case, though.
