It sounds very interesting and while I like the idea..
1) Terracotta license is a very liberal badgeware
2) Why not work memcached in this somehow..
a. It has built-in HA/failover/distribution
b. It's blazing fast and efficient at caching things
c. Has an active and growing community
d. Already in production for sites like facebook, myspace, or
hyves
for the dutch on the list..
I haven't worked with the java client connector, but seems to be
maintained and a small example can be found here. Currently builds with
Ant the best I can tell and probably not too difficult to mavenize.

perspective..
