[hibernate-dev] Configuration for Infinispan cache working as directory provider in HSearch

Yes, that's right, and also CM can close all its caches. If CM is single per
HS start it could be stored as a field somewhere in
SearchFactoryImplementor, but code won't be too clean then.
Another idea is to add non-static CM field to IspnDirectoryProvider and it
will be initialized by first indexed entity that use such directory. Next
entities will get CM from DP already initialized and stored
in SearchFactoryImplementor.
