            Apache Ignite®  allows for most of the data structures from <code>java.util.concurrent</code> framework to be used in a distributed fashion. For example, you can take <code>java.util.concurrent.BlockingDeque</code> and add something to it on one node and poll it from another node. Or have a distributed ID generator, which would guarantee uniqueness of IDs on all nodes.
