                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-2688
             Project: Jackrabbit Content Repository
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: jackrabbit-jcr-commons
    Affects Versions: 2.2.0
            Reporter: Michael Dürig

Jackrabbit does not cope well with 'flat' hierarchies. That is with hierarchies 
where a node has many child nodes and/or properties. The current recommendation 
for such situations is to manually add intermediate nodes. 

It would be nice to have an utility which adds/removes intermediate nodes as 
needed and expose a 'flat' view to users. Such an utility should:

- expose a large number of nodes/properties as sequence
- parametrize the order of how nodes/properties appear in the sequence
- provide methods to lookup/add/remove nodes/properties by key 
- organize the node/properties in the underlying JCR hierarchy in a way which 
is both efficient for above operations and easily understandable to users 
looking at the hierarchy.
