• Support for synchronous backups and configurable backup-count for maps.
• Eviction support. Timed eviction for queues. LRU, LFU and time based eviction for maps.
• Statistics/history for entries. create/update time, number of hits, cost. see IMap.getMapEntry(key)
• MultiMap implementation. similar to google-collections and apache-common-collections MultiMap but distributed and thread-safe.

• Being able to Hazelcast.shutdown() the local member.
• Get the list of all data structure instances via Hazelcast.getInstances().

What is next: Load/Store interface for persistence. Not that far though... We should have a beta in a month! We will have read-through, write-through, write-behind.
