Infinispan 9.0.0.Alpha1 发布了，Infinispan 是个开源的数据网格平台。它公开了一个简单的数据结构（一个Cache）来存储对象。虽然可以在本地模式下运行Infinspan，但其真正的价值在于分布 式，在这种模式下，Infinispan可以将集群缓存起来并公开大容量的堆内存。这可比简单的复制强大的多，因为它会为每个结点分配固定数量的副本——服 务器故障的一种恢复手段——同时还提升了可伸缩性，这是由于存储每个结点所需的工作量是与集群大小息息相关的。

and many, many bugfixes: consult our issue tracker for a list of things we have fixed.

We've removed our home-brew map/reduce implementation. By now you should be using the wonderful Streams-based API instead which are much nicer and provide better performance
We've dropped our custom NotifyingListeners in favour of Java's standard CompletableFuture
