is it possible to have basic wan replication for h

问题:

I'm aware that on hazelcast editions comparison page:

https://hazelcast.com/pricing/

it is clearly specified that WAN replication is only for enterprise edition.

But, on the other hand, this hazelcast documentation is divided into two parts:

http://docs.hazelcast.org/docs/latest/manual/html/wan.html

Only the second part is explicit about enterprise edition, making one assume that the first part refers to non enterprise edition. I also noticed that the parameters are a bit diferent between the two parts: (com.hazelcast.wan.impl.WanNoDelayReplication vs com.hazelcast.enterprise.wan.replication.WanNoDelayReplication)

I experimented a bit with hazelcast and stuff works as expected. Only cluster replication over WAN seems to not work with opensource edition - making me thinking that either it is completely absent in opensource edition or I messed up the configuration.

So, even I am almost sure that wan replication is exclusive for enterprise edition, I thought it would be better to ask if anyone managed to use WAN replication with opensource edition ? Are both editions "WAN replication" enabled while enterprise edition just has extra features ? ... or is it exclusive for enterprise ?

Thank you !

Yes, there is basic wan replication for the open source version. It only supports replication of Maps, other data structures (queues, sets, topics etc) are not replicated. The documentation link that you've shared should be enough to make a sample.

But please don't forget that Enterprise version has more features (like support for Cache replication in addition to Map, batch replication, etc.) and actively developed.
