The biggest problem is we don't have a sane disk cache implementation for backend (seems impossible to me). Current proposed approach doesn't scale. Suppose we have 1000 nodes, and sync request will be issued in 30 second. Because we have to broadcast sync request to all the nodes, then we'll end up with 1000^2 / 30 = 33333 for every host every second. This will definitely degrade the performance. That is, O(n^2) will only apply to very small sized cluster. If we have an O(n) disk cache for backend, then I think we don't need to disable it.
