Re: [infinispan-dev] RemoteCache vs BasicCache

Dear all, during my latest destructive commits, I have liberated infinispan-client-hotrod from infinispan-core. One of the things I did was remove the inheritance of RemoteCache from BasicCache, since my argument was that our base API contract was the ConcurrentMap interface and that would suffice, since it implied that a remote Cache could match a core Cache in functionality (which is somewhat true). Now, I'm not convinced it was a good choice after all, since there are indeed a ton of common methods (the async API for one). I would like people's opinion on the above, and propose one of the following: 1. we leave it as it is 2. we move org.infinispan.api to infinispan-commons and make RemoteCache inherit from BasicCache 3. we go even further and split the concept of BasicCache into multiple interfaces: AsyncCache, TransactionalCache, QueryableCache, etc and add them to the RemoteCache as we will in the blanks, since we are aiming at feature parity. This could also mix well with the ideal of having the JCache API as our public API.
