Cluster peers do not require persitance

[ryanfaircloth]

In the current generated deployment both etc and var create pvc for etc and var, however, replication means this is not required. Provide a means to disable generation of pv mounts to use ephemeral storage instead.

Persistent volumes are required regardless of replication. I suspect what you may be looking for is Local Persistent Volumes.

emptydir would be just fine for indexers protected by smartstore

Maybe fine for experimentation, but I wouldn't feel comfortable with anyone using emptydir in production. Even with SmartStore, Splunk Enterprise has a long way to go before I think we could get that to work well.

I agree with @mikedickey

Hey @rfaircloth-splunk can we close this issue?
