Claim:
1. A method for supporting data synchronization between clusters in a distributed data grid, the method comprising: capturing, at a first cluster in the distributed data grid, one or more data changes generated by a client and applied to a first plurality of partitions distributed throughout a first plurality of members of the first cluster, sending, via a source member of the first cluster, one or more replication messages to a destination member of the second cluster, wherein said one or more replication messages include the one or more data changes; and maintaining, via the destination member, a replication record comprising one or more entries, each entry indicating a last data change received and processed in the second cluster for an associated partition in the first cluster, wherein the data synchronization is performed asynchronously from the perspective of the client, the first cluster, and the second cluster, respectively.
