Just to be sure (and document it), client code would like this, right?
javax.jcr.Event event = events.nextEvent();
if (event instanceof org.apache.jackrabbit.api.JackrabbitEvent) {
if ( ((org.apache.jackrabbit.api.JackrabbitEvent) event).isLocal() ) {
// event from local cluster node
} else {
// event from remote cluster node
}
} else {
// not a jackrabbit repository
}
