Thomas Mueller commented on JCR-3534: ------------------------------------- > we may defer the salt / expiry stuff as possible further improvement Yes. Implementing this would be rather easy and can be done later. > Add JackrabbitSession.getValueByContentId method > ------------------------------------------------ > > Key: JCR-3534 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-3534 > Project: Jackrabbit Content Repository > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: jackrabbit-api, jackrabbit-core > Affects Versions: 2.6 > Reporter: Felix Meschberger > Attachments: JCR-3534.patch > > > we have a couple of use cases, where we would like to leverage the global > data store to prevent sending around and copying around large binary data > unnecessarily: We have two separate Jackrabbit instances configured to use > the same DataStore (for the sake of this discussion assume we have the > problems of concurrent access and garbage collection under control). When > sending content from one instance to the other instance we don't want to send > potentially large binary data (e.g. video files) if not needed. > The idea is for the sender to just send the content identity from > JackrabbitValue.getContentIdentity(). The receiver would then check whether > the such content already exists and would reuse if so: > String ci = contentIdentity_from_sender; > try { > Value v = session.getValueByContentIdentity(ci); > Property p = targetNode.setProperty(propName, v); > } catch (ItemNotFoundException ie) { > // unknown or invalid content Identity > } catch (RepositoryException re) { > // some other exception > } > Thus the proposed JackrabbitSession.getValueByContentIdentity(String) method > would allow for round tripping the JackrabbitValue.getContentIdentity() > preventing superfluous binary data copying and moving. > See also the dev@ thread > http://jackrabbit.markmail.org/thread/gedk5jsrp6offkhi -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
