Miroslav Smiljanic commented on SLING-10011:
--------------------------------------------
Hi [~npeltier], I would agree with you, but if we are talking about the patch,
no code that throws exception is introduced. There is only
[try/catch|https://github.com/apache/sling-org-apache-sling-jcr-resource/blob/org.apache.sling.jcr.resource-3.0.22/src/main/java/org/apache/sling/jcr/resource/internal/helper/jcr/JcrResourceProvider.java#L372-L373]
block (not introduced with the patch), for exception thrown by JCR API.
As per JCR specification, both
[session|https://docs.adobe.com/content/docs/en/spec/javax.jcr/javadocs/jcr-2.0/javax/jcr/Session.html#getNode(java.lang.String)]
and
[node|https://docs.adobe.com/content/docs/en/spec/javax.jcr/javadocs/jcr-2.0/javax/jcr/Item.html#getParent()]
APIs are throwing exceptions in case of insufficient privileges. JCR spec is
out of scope for improvements I am suggesting here :).

> is using JcrItemResourceFactory.getItemOrNull(String path), which eventually
> is using JCR session to retrieve parent node using absolute path.
> I propose using javax.jcr.Item.getParent() instead.
> Reasoning wold be to utilise potential improvements in JCR implementation
> that would for a given node retrieve the whole subtree. That can be
> configured for example by using particular node type or node path.

> If node 'a' in picture above, is matching desired configuration, then code
> below would return the whole subtree.
> {code:java}
> Node a = jcrSession.getNode("a");
> {code}
> That further means retrieved subtree can be traversed in memory, without the
> need to communicate with the JCR repository storage.
> (!)That is particularly important when remote (cloud) storage is used for
> repository in JCR implementation, and tree traversal can be done without
> doing additional network roundtrips.
> {code:java}
> //JCR tree traversal happens in memory
> Node b = a.getNode("b");
> Node c = a.getNode("c");
> {code}
> Also going from child to parent, is resolved in memory as well (proposal
> relates to this fact)
> {code:java}
> //JCR tree traversal happens in memory
> assert b.getParent() == c.getParent();
> {code}
> Jackrabbit Oak, for document node store is supporting node bundling for

> Currently I am also doing some experiments to support node
> bundling/aggregation for arbitrary node store
