[infinispan-dev] Integrating Karsten's FCS

[Galder Zamarreño]

Hi,

I think we all agree that Karsten's file cache store is a good base replacement for the current file cache store, particularly for caches with relatively small keys, or not a huge amount of them. 

I'm working with Radim to try to figure out what would be the tipping point at which LevelDB based cache store behaves better compared to Karsten's cache store.

In the mean time, I think we should integrate Karsten's FCS into master and have it ready for people to try from Alpha1. There's one or two things that do require a bit of review, but I can pin point them in the pull req. 

The question is, how should we name it? And what should we do about the current FCS implementation?

Shall we keep the current FCS implementation, deprecate it, and get rid of it in the next minor/major version? Some users might have data stored in the current FCS and would be quite abrupt to just get rid of it right now. 

If so, what do we name karsten's file cache store? AppendOnlyFileCacheStore?

Cheers,
