index.md is *almost* the same between java and scala variations now - I wonder
if 'Java 8 and Scala Compatibility' really deserves its own top-level section?
* Java version of new Hello World
* Define paradox groups, use shorthand directives
* Make tutorial apply to both java and scala
* Use sbt-paradox-akka
This is mainly intended to keep the git history as neat as possible.
No actual conversion yet, so now both the rst and the paradox docs
are broken, which will be fixed in the next commits.
- created new subproject akka-protobuf (and added COPYING and LICENSE)
- renamed com.google.protobuf -> akka.protobuf everywhere
- also added such renaming step to the results of protoc compilation in
project/Protobuf.scala
- had to include transcriptions of Netty’s ProtobufEncoder/Decoder to
make multi-node-testkit compile again
Previously know as [patriknw/akka-data-replication](https://github.com/patriknw/akka-data-replication),
which was originally inspired by [jboner/akka-crdt](https://github.com/jboner/akka-crdt).
The functionality is very similar to akka-data-replication 0.11.
Here is a list of the most important changes:
* The package name changed to `akka.cluster.ddata`
* The extension was renamed to `DistributedData`
* The keys changed from strings to classes with unique identifiers and type information of the data values,
e.g. `ORSetKey[Int]("set2")`
* The optional read consistency parameter was removed from the `Update` message. If you need to read from
other replicas before performing the update you have to first send a `Get` message and then continue with
the ``Update`` when the ``GetSuccess`` is received.
* `BigInt` is used in `GCounter` and `PNCounter` instead of `Long`
* Improvements of java api
* Better documentation
