The reasoning is as follows in a nutshell.
If Infinispan wants to be treated as a database, it needs to be friendly 
towards its client and offer a proper simple access. A driver + a URL scheme is 
a common scheme across the RDBMS and NoSQL space these days.

If we have this, then Wildfly users can start separating the data source 
configuration from their application deployment like they have been able to for 
RDBMSes (or other JCA deployment AFAIR).
The main difference is that we will not return javax.sql.DataSource objects but 
the natural native object of the driver. We are setting these approaches in 
Wildfly for various NoSQL solutions already. Infinispan is the remaining 
outlier.
