+=== Client intelligence
+Infinispan client uses intelligence mechanisms to efficiently send requests to Infinispan Server clusters.
+By default, the *HASH_DISTRIBUTION_AWARE* intelligence mechanism is enabled.
+However, locally with Docker for Mac, you might experience connectivity issues.
+In this case, configure the client intelligence to *BASIC*.
+
+Learn more in the https://infinispan.org/docs/stable/titles/hotrod_java/hotrod_java.html#hotrod-client-intelligence_hotrod-java-client[Infinispan documentation].

 === Configuring backup clusters in Cross-Site Replication
 In High Availability production deployments, it is common to have multiple Infinispan Clusters that are
 distributed across various Data Centers worldwide. Infinispan offers the capability to connect these clusters and
