 This example demonstrates Geode support for asynchronous WAN 
 replication between clusters.  WAN replication allows remote Geode 
-clusters to automatically keep their region data consistent. 
-The WAN gateway senders and receivers can be configured in several 
-different topologies based on specific business needs. Servers 
-in each cluster are configured to be gateway senders and/or gateway 
-receivers and can connect to any number of remote clusters. See Geode 
-documentation for example topologies and associated use cases.

 This example runs a single client that connects to the London cluster and 
 puts 10 entries into the example-region and prints them.  After the client
 app has run, both clusters will contain the data.
