>  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.
> {noformat}
>     root

>      a 
>    /   \
>   b     c    
> {noformat}
> 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 
> configured node type
>  [http://jackrabbit.apache.org/oak/docs/nodestore/document/node-bundling.html]
> Currently I am also doing some experiments to support node 
> bundling/aggregation for arbitrary node store
