Hi Strahinja,

Glad to hear that you're using Infinispan in your master thesis :)

I have some reservations about adding these methods.

You can create a custom distributed callable, so why not pass in this info on 
construction of the callable, and make sure it's serialized so these parameters 
are available when these classes are sent to other nodes?

Cheers,
