My server infrastructure is growing fast and I decided to create a distributed storage cluster. I've been looking for a proper filesystem for this task which meet my requirement, but none of them supports a local disk cache functionality. Each of my servers have a two 600GB SAS hard drives and I like to use them as a cache storage for most frequently accessed files from distributed storage.
Is any opensource filesystem supports this functionality? I like to use Ceph or GlusterFS, but I not found anything about local disk cache. I think it is a one of the basic features that distributed filesystem should support.

Check out OpenAFS it has local disk cache, see: http://docs.openafs.org/Reference/5/afs_cache.html
