hazelcast/hazelcast

May 2014 - Nov 2014

Hazelcast is a unified real-time data platform combining stream processing with a fast data store, allowing customers to act instantly on data-in-motion for real-time insights.

Role in this project:

Back-end Developer

Contributions:8 commits in 5 months

Contributions summary:Stéphane contributed to the Hazelcast project by implementing and improving the multicast discovery mechanism. They added the ability to configure and use loopback multicast sockets, enabling the use of multicast on loopback interfaces. The user updated the XML configuration generator and builder to include the loopback mode setting, and added unit tests to verify the functionality. The changes involved modifications to configuration files and core Hazelcast instance classes.
