[infinispan-dev] tuned profiles for Infinispan ?

[Sebastian Laskawiec]

I have mixed feelings about this to be honest. On one hand this gives a
really good experience for new users (just pick a profile you want to use)
but on the other hand tools like this discourage users for doing proper
tuning work (why should I read any documentation and do anything if
everything has already been provided by Infinispan authors).

Nevertheless I think it might be worth to do a POC and host profiles in a
separate repository (to avoid user confusion).
