/**
* The membership package implements cluster membership services. It is used to build a
* Membership instance using a MembershipBuilder. The builder allows plugging in listeners
* for various kinds of events (new member, departed member, unexpected shutdown, etc).
* <p>
* Once a Membership is created it must be started using its start() method.
* <p>
* The "api" package contains builders and interfaces for Membership.
* <p>
* The "gms" package contains the implementation of membership services. Class GMSMembership
* is the primary class in that package. It encapsulates a Services object that handles
* startup and shutdown of the various services (messaging, cluster membership, failure
* detection).
