Hi Vij,

Storing hot recent data in cache, and historical data in persistent store
sounds like a perfectly reasonable idea.

If you decide to store historical data in HDFS, then you should be able to
construct HDFS path from the key because store interface accepts keys to
store/load data. If this is possible, then I do not see any obvious
problems with this approach.

On the other hand, do you want this historical data to be cached on access?

Vladimir.
