Thanks for the explanation. I've heard of Rex-RAY but I thought that was a vendor-specific solution(EMC.) Maybe that has changed?

What is an SSR cache?

Yes, Rex-Ray is EMC specific. Take a look at Robin Systems (https://robinsystems.com/) for stateful containers. They have examples of running hadoop, cassandra, mongodb, etc all on commodity hardware.

That's not really accurate I think. RexRay is also supporting non-EMC solutions: https://github.com/codedellemc/rexray#storage-provider-suppo...
