Robert, We use jini/river in the bigdata RDF/Graph database platform and have done so for nearly a decade (since 2006). We use it to publish and discover services in both the highly available replication cluster model and the horizontally sharded cluster model (the sharding policy is similar to that user by a variety of key-value stores, but bigdata supports multiple indices and allows query evaluation to flow across the servers on which the data is stored). Jini/River also provides the basis for RMI among the services. You can ready more about the bigdata platform at [1,2,3].
At the time, Jini was clearly the most advanced service discovery and RMI framework. Today there are a variety of other frameworks, some of which are hosted at Apache. One lack of the Jini framework is cross platform support. But it has great strengths in terms of its maturity, longevity, and configurability, and extensibilty.
