I'll be hosting a webinar on HazelcastMQ this Wednesday, July 23rd at 1PM ET. Of particular interest to this group is that HazelcastMQ includes a Camel component for basic in-process or cluster messaging. The component is similar to the ActiveMQ or JMS components but it works with HazelcastMQ over one or more Hazelcast instances. While there is already a camel-hazelcast component (http://camel.apache.org/hazelcast-component.html) for accessing the data grid/cache features of Hazelcast, the HazelcastMQ component introduces messaging concepts. By using the two components together, an application can have a distributed cache and message passing capabilities exposed via Camel on the same Hazelcast instance so there is no need to run a separate message broker.
>From the webinar description: "HazelcastMQ provides a simple messaging layer on top of the basic Queue and Topic data structures provided by Hazelcast. HazelcastMQ emphasizes simple configuration and reliable clustering while providing an understandable and flexible messaging API. Building on the core features of Hazelcast such as scalability and resilience, HazelcastMQ maintains a small footprint and few dependencies. In this webinar Mike Pilone, creator of HazelcastMQ, will explain why he wrote the framework, its overall architecture, and a few live demos. He will also share his ideas and roadmap for future expansion."
