But the user should be free to choose another folder outside the data/ path if he wants.

Does the file-store/rocksbd store "force" the storage to be under data/ ?

Index filesystem paths in server should point to data directory --------------------------------------------------------------- Key: ISPN-9498 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-9498 Project: Infinispan Issue Type: Bug Components: Indexing, Server Affects Versions: 9.4.0.CR1, 9.3.3.Final Reporter: Galder Zamarreño Assignee: Gustavo Fernandes Certain indexing configurations result in using filesystem as index storage. When running such configurations in a server environment, filesystem path should be somewhere within the server's data directory. This is the natural place for such data. When running in OpenShift, server's data folder can be backed by a persistent volume. This means that the fileystem volume survives after restarts. Plugging server's data directory is already happening for [file-store|https://github.com/infinispan/infinispan/blob/master/server/in...] and [rocksdb-store|https://github.com/infinispan/infinispan/blob/master/server...].
