title: Simple open source DHT implementation in Java for learning purposes
body: <p>I'm looking for recommendations for a simple open source implementation of a <strong>Distributed Hash Table</strong> in Java to play around with. No fancy features, just for learning purposes, no production functionality needed. It should be simple to set up (e.g. 1 physical machine with n-JVMs) and well documented preferably with some examples, tutorials or starting guides.</p>
  
  <p>Research yields these candidates: <a href="http://www.freepastry.org/" rel="noreferrer">FreePastry</a> and <a href="http://open-chord.sourceforge.net/" rel="noreferrer">OpenChord</a> but I'm not fully convinced they meet my criteria simplicity-wise.</p>
  
  <p>Have you got any experience with these or other implementations? Recommendations?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks &amp; adios</p>
