---------------------------------------------

I am wondering why invest energy in your own data store instead of using something dedicated? I see JDBM4/MapDB as a good candidate. There seem to be various initiatives around SQLite but most of them are JNI.

I am asking because I see a lot of potential in using local disk space as data store. In a very common cloud environment you have instances with a lot of ephemeral storage that is not generally usable for anything but cache. So this storage that can be terabytes in size and is just waiting for a fast and reliable file store implementation. Setting up a local RDBMS seems to me an overkill and only imposes operational and maintenance overheads.

> Based on the feedback we got from community/users Infinispan needs a more efficient FileCacheStore implementation. See the [design document|https://community.jboss.org/wiki/FileCacheStoreRedesign] that contains several suggestion of implementing it. It would be nice to also have a benchmark written in order to evaluate the performance between various implementation suggestion.
