ServiceDiscovery usage

Once retrieved, you should hold on to the ServiceProvider as it is itself a kind of cache. For me, the fact that it has a start() and close() method imply this. How can I make the doc clearer?

Yeah, the start() and close() implied it to me as well, but just wanted to make sure. An example would, I suppose, make it clearer.

We're trying to get some examples posted here. User examples are welcome :)

[gsingers]

I'll see if I can get one soon.

May be obvious to others, but one tip on caching these providers is that you can't build the ServiceProvider for a particular service until you have actually registered a service with that name. Since I know the names (as in the String name) of all my services ahead of time, I was creating my map of ServiceProvider instances on construction before they were actually registered with the ServiceDiscovery.
