Hi everyone, I came across [0] and its interesting "Don't fear the filesystem!" section. That brought me to the "stupid" question:
Why does Jackrabbit/Oak not map JCR hierarchies directly to the filesystem? Things that come to my mind, but I am not sure if you couldn't overcome them with some creativity: - transactions - names: JCR allowing almost unrestricted node names, file systems probably not - batch-write performance (though in-memory buffering in OS should have the same effect) [0] http://incubator.apache.org/kafka/design.html Cheers, Alex
