* Single node as a StatefulSet in k8s
- uses bigchaindb/bigchaindb:0.9.1
* Updating README
* rdb, mdb as stateful services
* [WIP] bdb as a statefulset
* [WIP] bdb w/ rdb and bdb w/ mdb backends
- does not work as of now
* Split mdb & bdb into separate pods + enhancements
* discovery of the mongodb service by the bdb pod by using dns name.
* using separate storage classes to map 2 different volumes exposed by the
mongo docker container; one for /data/db (dbPath) and the other for
/data/configdb (configDB).
* using the `persistentVolumeReclaimPolicy: Retain` in k8s pvc. However,
this seems to be unsupported in Azure and the disks still show a reclaim
policy of `delete`.
* mongodb container runs the `mongod` process as user `mongodb` and group
`mongodb. The corresponding `uid` and `gid` for the `mongod` process is 999
and 999 respectively. When the constinaer runs on a host with a mounted disk,
the writes fail, when there is no user with uid 999. To avoid this, I use the
docker provided feature of --cap-add=FOWNER in k8s. This bypasses the uid and
gid permission checks during writes and allows writes.

* Delete redundant k8s files, add cluster deletion steps.
