What are the ways to do remote function calls with Clojure? Here is a
*low-level
list* I have so far:
* Java Remote Method Invocation API:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/rmi/index.html
* nREPL: https://github.com/clojure/tools.nrepl

There are *higher-level tools*, too, such as:
* Slacker https://github.com/sunng87/slacker

What else should I add to the lists?

Here is my goal. I'm exploring various ways to do distributed computation.
Many distributed computation platforms (e.g. Storm, Hadoop) require (1)
significant dev-ops setup (2) deployment via a JAR file (3) quite a bit of
time lag to get things started. I was hoping to find lighter-weight, more
responsive, ways to do distributed computation. I also consider this a
learning exercise.

I like PigPen's use of a custom `pmap` function to distributes work:
https://github.com/Netflix/PigPen (But it requires Pig and Hadoop)

It could be nifty to have a `pmap` that worked, say, over a set of machines
connected via nREPL. Has this already been done?

Thanks!
