[keycloak-user] Would like to deprecate/remove JPA/Mongo UserSessions

[Bill Burke]

The abstraction will still againt and it will still be possible to plug 
in your own session implementation.  But we don't think using JPA or 
Mongo is a good solution for manganging UserSessionModel.  That's the 
biggest reason we are deprecating it.

FYI, not sure what you mean by "JavaEE style clustering".  Infinispan is 
just a distributed cache/data grid and nothing to do with Java EE.  I 
don't see how Infinispan is any different than Redis.
