Hazelcast allows you to register for entry events to get notified when entries added, updated or removed. Listeners are cluster-wide. When a member adds a listener, it is actually registering for events originated in any member in the cluster. When a new member joins, events originated at the new member will also be delivered. All events are ordered, meaning, listeners will receive and process the events in the order they are actually occurred.
