[jgroups-dev] create a Discovery protocol using a javax.sql.DataSource

Hello all,
as per the subject I created JGRP-1231.

I'm not having much time right now so if anyone wants to contribute
such an implementation that would be appreciated; otherwise I might
contribute it myself in a couple of months.

The use case:
Deploying on Ec2 - you all know that multicast is disabled - I'm using
an RDS instance as database for the application already, so it was a
simple choice to re-use the same database for the Infinispan cache
store, and if I only could use it for node discovery too I wouldn't
have to require people to enter the S3 credentials too; also I could
reuse the same datasource which is already setup for the other two
purposes.
I assume it could be useful in other non-Multicast clouds too,
especially if S3 is not an option.

Regards,
Sanne
