Hi there, I was asked to look into better support for structured values inside JCR properties.
For the sake of simplicity, let's consider JSON in binary properties on nt:file/jcr:content... 1. Full text search It should be possible to restrict full text search to the *values* in JSON; I believe this is already possible by configuring the right extraction strategy? 2. Search *inside* the property values That likely requires either support from the underlying query engine, or some sort of pre-processing. It will also require extensions to the query syntax, right? 3. Utilities for handling these properties The JCR API makes it hard to introduce new property types without breaking existing code (that operations on the type value). But putting this functionality into separate utility code (or alternatively, putting extensions into oak-jackrabbit-api) should be simple. Feedback appreciated, Julian
