-# Epiphany Platform cache storage design document
-
-Affected version: 0.4.x
-
-## Goals
-
-Provide in-memory cache storage that will be capable of store large amount of data with hight performance.
-
-## Use cases
-
-Platform should provide cache storage for key-value stores, latest value taken from queue (Kafka).
-
-## Architectural decision
-
-Considered options are:
-- Apache Ignite
-- Redis
-
-Description | Apache Ignite | Redis |
---- | ---| --- |
-License | Apache 2.0 | three clause BSD license
-Partition method | Sharding | Sharding
-Replication | Yes | Master-slave - yes, Master - Master - only enterprise version
-Transaction concept | ACID | Optimistic lock |
-Data Grid | Yes | N/A |
-In-memory DB | Distributed key-value store, in-memory distributed SQL database | key-value store
-Integration with RDBMS | Can integrate with any relational DB that supports JDBC driver (Oracle, PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, and MySQL) | Possible using 3rd party software
-Integration with Kafka | Using `Streamer` (Kafka Streamer, MQTT Streamer, ...) possible to insert to cache | Required 3rd party service
-Machine learning | Apache Ignite Machine Learning - tools for building predictive ML models | N/A
-
-Based on above - Apache Ignite is not just scalable in-memory cache/database but cache and processing platform which can run transactional, analytical and streaming workloads. While Redis is simpler, Apache Ignite offers lot more features with Apache 2.0 licence.
-
-Choice: **Apache Ignite**
-
-## Design proposal
-
-[MVP] Add Ansible role to `epicli` that installs Apache Ignite and sets up cluster if there is more than one instance. Ansible playbook is also responsible for adding more nodes to existing cluster (scaling).
-
-Possible problems while implementing Ignite clustering:
-- Ignite uses multicast for node discovery which is not supported on AWS. Ignite distribution comes with `TcpDiscoveryS3IpFinder` so S3-based discovery can be used.
-
-To consider:
-- Deploy Apache Ignite cluster in Kubernetes

-## How to start working with Apache Ignite Stateful setup
-
-Apache Ignite can be installed in Epiphany if `count` property for `ignite` feature is greater than 0. Example:
-
-```yaml
-kind: epiphany-cluster
-specification:
-  components:
-    load_balancer:
-      count: 1
-    ignite:
-      count: 2
-    rabbitmq:
-      count: 0
-    ...
-```
-
-Configuration like in this example will create Virtual Machines with Apache Ignite cluster installed. There is possible
-to modify configuration for Apache Ignite and plugins used.
-
-```yaml
-kind: configuration/ignite
-title: "Apache Ignite stateful installation"
-name: default
-specification:
-  version: 2.7.6
-  file_name: apache-ignite-2.7.6-bin.zip

-## How to start working with Apache Ignite Stateless setup
-
-Stateless setup of Apache Ignite is done using Kubernetes deployments. This setup uses standard `applications`
-Epiphany's feature (similar to `auth-service`, `rabbitmq`). To enable stateless Ignite deployment use following
-document:
-
-```yaml
-kind: configuration/applications
-title: "Kubernetes Applications Config"
-name: default
-specification:
-  applications:
-  - name: ignite-stateless
-    image_path: "epiphanyplatform/ignite:2.9.1" # it will be part of the image path: {{local_repository}}/{{image_path}}
-    namespace: ignite
-    service:
-      rest_nodeport: 32300
-      sql_nodeport: 32301
-      thinclients_nodeport: 32302
-    replicas: 1
-    enabled_plugins:
-    - ignite-kubernetes # required to work on K8s
-    - ignite-rest-http
-```
-
-Adjust this config to your requirements with number of replicas and plugins that should be enabled.
