No, but you could take a look into bcache which should get you
something similar if used in write-around mode.

Random access will become cached in bcache, which should most of the
time be metadata, plus of course randomly accessed data from HDD. If
you reduce the sequential cutoff trigger in bcache, it should cache
mostly metadata only.
