I think that is the most important question, and we really need to make 
sure that the requirements are such that they fit with Infinispan's 
model, or they can achieved without fundamentally turning Infinispan 
into something it is not.

Ultimately this is about making a scalable transaction log with variable 
durability which can be regularly rebased if we can be certain that 
consumers have kept up. Does Debezium provide a checkpoint notification 
mechanism to implement this ?
Such a log needs to reliably survive both "normal" rebalancing (+/- 1 
node) as well as downscaling of the cluster (i.e. the remaining nodes 
will still need to hold the log for when the cluster was bigger until 
rebase time).
