Cache Fusion: Extending Shared-Disk Clusters with Shared Caches

Summary: Introduces Cache Fusion, a shared-cache layer for shared-disk clusters that ships blocks directly over the interconnect rather than via disk-mediated arbitration. Preserves shared-disk availability while reducing I/O and improving scalability. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
