[keycloak-dev] infinispan as a storage mechanism

[Bill Burke]

I'm thinking of this mostly for running our testsuite.  If you're not
developing on DB, much nicer if your test startup times is
milliseconds rather than 5-10 secs.

For production, I'm thinking more of when people need lightweight
keycloak instances and are doing a lot of identity federation.  This
is really long term thoughts though.
