Marcel Reutegger commented on JCR-1239:
---------------------------------------
If there are hundreds of thousands of children your UI will be swamped anyway
and should rather stop displaying children after a few hundreds and tell the
user that there are 'many' children.
> SPI: Return value of RepositoryService.getChildInfos
> ----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: JCR-1239
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-1239
> Project: Jackrabbit
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: jackrabbit-spi
> Reporter: angela
> Fix For: 1.4
>
>
> separate issue started by julian within issue #1166:
> RepositoryService.getChildInfos is defined to return an Iterator.
> this forces the caller to loop over all entries in order to detect the number
> of child-nodes.
> currently the hierarchy is populated any way, but that could be a source for
> future optimization.
> possible solutions:
> - change return value to RangeIterator
> - change return value to Collection (or Set).
