Carsten Ziegeler commented on SLING-10011:
------------------------------------------
[~angela] If I remember correctly it was about the performance related to
needing to catch the exception (or something like that). It might not be
relevant today with never java versions.
I'm fine either way - somehow I prefer having that new method in the api
> Use javax.jcr.Item.getParent() when resolving parent JCR node in

> 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();

> 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
