title: How can I check if a hazelcast cluster is alive from a java client?
body: <p>We use hazelcast in client-server mode. The hazelcast cluster contains 2 hazelcast nodes and we have about 25 clients connected to the cluster. </p>
  
  <p>What I am lookin for now is a simple check that tries to figure out if the cluster is still alive. It should be a rather cheap operation because this check will occure on every client quite frequently (once every second I could imagine). </p>
  
  <p>What is the best way to do so? </p>
