Hazelcast Re-Elected to the JCP Executive Committee

Powering the Java Community through in-memory storage and parallel execution for breakthrough application speed and scale

Palo Alto, Calif., November 17, 2017 – Hazelcast®, the leading open source in-memory data grid (IMDG) with tens of thousands of installed clusters and over 39 million server starts per month, today announced it has been re-elected to serve on the Java Community Process (JCP) Executive Committee (EC). In the 2017 elections, there were eight ratified, three elected and one associate seat open for election. Of those elected, Hazelcast joins Twitter and Tomitribe (all serving a two-year term).

Hazelcast’s CEO, Greg Luck, remains the maintenance lead on “JCache – Java Temporary Caching API”, a Java Specification Request (JSR) which specifies API and semantics for temporary, in-memory caching of Java objects, including object creation, shared access, spooling, invalidation, and consistency across JVM’s. These operations help scale out applications and manage their high-speed access to frequently used data. He has led this JSR since 2007. A new 1.1 release of JCache is coming out in the next few weeks.

Greg Luck, CEO of Hazelcast, said: “Through our continued presence on the JCP EC, we continue to serve the interests of the wider Java development and ISV community. As a company we are fully committed to driving adoption of open standards and improvements to the Java ecosystem, along with ensuring Java remains the premier enterprise software platform.”

The eight ratified seats were awarded to the following JCP members: ARM, Credit Suisse, Fujitsu, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, IBM, Intel, Red Hat and Sociedade de Usários da Tecnologia Java – SouJava.
