> when installing the customer package that is 3Gb, I noticed that installing 
> it requires about 10Gb...
> The root cause seems that it doesn't use the file directly, but instead 
> perform multiple copies before actually starting to extract it.
> 1. it copies the package from crx-quickstart/install to datastore 
> 2. from datastore if first copy it in /tmp like 
> vaultpack7793665768596308927.zip
> 3. in /tmp/ it create a second copy __vlttmpbuffer2535888623024233693.dat
> So at the end it will have used many diskspace which in the case of large 
> package is not efficient.
> It could be nice if it would use the original file (datastore or /install 
> folder) all the time.
> ---
> I think we should have 2 improvements:
> # add option for streaming install which would:
> ** create a "hollow" package, that does not store the package content in the 
> repository (basically, a 0 byte jcr:data). I think it's still good to have 
> the package node so that you see it was installed
> ** would not create a snapshot by default
> ** would not allow to uninstall
> ** would install directly from the stream, w/o need of tmp file (there might 
> be a problem with large zip's that still need a tmp file - but with java7 
> that might not be a problem anymore)
> # add option to select a file on the server disk for installation. this can 
> be done independent of the "hollow" package support above. but would allow to 
> scp the files on the server, and then install it w/o an ever-open browser 
> connection.
