Gridgain executor service

Question

What are the advantages of using GridGain's GridExecutorService to execute jobs remotely vs using the @Gridify annotation?

You can pass an instance of java.lang.concurrent.ExecutorService to your class and have no dependency on the grid framework but do you lose any functionality?

Answer 1

Well I found the answer myself. Apparently failover is difficult to achieve using the ExecutorService abstraction and the standard GridTask mechanism should be used:
