Jukka Zitting updated JCR-926:
------------------------------
Attachment: DataStore2.patch
Attached a prototype patch that integrates the data store concept in
Jackrabbit. The integration is very ugly at this stage and the attached code is
definitely not meant for inclusion as-is.
For very rough performance testing I created a simple test application that
creates a versionable folder with 100 files in it, each containing about 270kB
of application/octet-stream data. Once populated, the entire folder was checked
into the version store. The numbers, averaged over a couple of test runs, are:
Current svn trunk:
100 added files: 5625 milliseconds
checkin everything: 11094 milliseconds
With this patch:
100 added files: 2750 milliseconds
checkin everything: 1906 milliseconds

> There are three main problems with the way Jackrabbit currently handles large
> binary values:
> 1) Persisting a large binary value blocks access to the persistence layer for
> extended amounts of time (see JCR-314)
> 2) At least two copies of binary streams are made when saving them through
> the JCR API: one in the transient space, and one when persisting the value
> 3) Versioining and copy operations on nodes or subtrees that contain large
> binary values can quickly end up consuming excessive amounts of storage space.
> To solve these issues (and to get other nice benefits), I propose that we
> implement a global "data store" concept in the repository. A data store is an
> append-only set of binary values that uses short identifiers to identify and
> access the stored binary values. The data store would trivially fit the
> requirements of transient space and transaction handling due to the
> append-only nature. An explicit mark-and-sweep garbage collection process
> could be added to avoid concerns about storing garbage values.
> See the recent NGP value record discussion, especially [1], for more
> background on this idea.
