One thing i was wondering for a long time now is why the distributed
cache is not implemented
via the blob store.
The DC is essentially just a copy routine with local caching and
automatic cleanup, so basically what
the blob store is supposed to do (i guess).

Hi all,
I'd like to initiate a discussion on some architectural changes for the BLOB
server which finally add a proper cleanup story, remove some dead code, and
extend the BLOB store's use for off-loaded (large) RPC messages.
Please have a look at FLIP-19 that details the proposed changes:

PS: While doing the re-write, I'd also like to fix some concurrency issues in
the current code.
