Hi all I was wondering if Blob#getReference could be used in AbstractBlob#equal to optimize blob comparison (OAK-5253). Specifically whether blobA.getReference() != blobB.getReference() (pseudocode) allows us to determine that the blobs are not equal.
However, the API docs[0,1] only state that they return a "secure reference" to the Blob. They do not explain what "safe" is supposed to mean in this context. Thanks for your insights!
