[infinispan-dev] Singleton Cache Stores with Shared Cache Stores

Recently there was a start of a discussion regarding singleton cache stores and how they behave. Interestingly according to our documentation [1] and verification code [2] a singleton store cannot be used with a shared cache store. This makes no sense to me as this means you would have a single point of failure for your data. And also as Dan pointed out [3] there is no Singleton cache loader to make sure all the loads are from the coordinator either, which means you could have a read that returns null despite it being in the store/loader. And even looking at [4] it talks about singleton being used so not every node writes to the underlying store, which implies it being shared. I think we have enough proof to update this so a singleton store requires a shared store, but I wanted to make sure we weren't missing something here.
