HazelcastInstance (Hazelcast Root 4.0.2 API)

All Known Subinterfaces:

HazelcastOSGiInstance
```
public interface HazelcastInstance
```
Hazelcast instance. Each instance is a member and/or client in a Hazelcast cluster. When you want to use Hazelcast's distributed data structures, you must first create an instance. Multiple Hazelcast instances can be created on a single JVM.
Instances should be shut down explicitly. See the shutdown() method. If the instance is a client and you don't shut it down explicitly, it will continue to run and even connect to another live member if the one it was connected fails.
Each Hazelcast instance has its own socket and threads.
