    public interface Cluster

A Cluster works as a Cluster client/server for the local host Different Cluster implementations can be used to support different ways to communicate within the Cluster. A Cluster implementation is responsible for setting up a way to communicate within the Cluster and also supply "ClientApplications" with `ClusterSender` used when sending information in the Cluster and `ClusterInfo` used for receiving information in the Cluster.

  Returns:
    The name of the cluster associated with this server

### setClusterName

    void setClusterName(java.lang.String clusterName)

  Set the name of the cluster to join, if no cluster with this name is present create one.

  Parameters:
    `clusterName` - The clustername to join

### setContainer

  Set the Container associated with our Cluster

  Parameters:
    `container` - The Container to use

### getContainer
