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
