Henry Saginor commented on OAK-8186: ------------------------------------ [~mreutegg], [~mattvryan] To continue this conversation I opened a new ticket OAK-8275 specifically to focus on providing NIO channel access. Henry > Create API in OAK for file access to binaries in the repository. > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: OAK-8186 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-8186 > Project: Jackrabbit Oak > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Henry Saginor > Priority: Major > Attachments: FileCopyTest3.java, OAK File Access.jpg, > fileCopyTest-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar > > > To get file access applications normally write binaries to temp files. It > would be nice if an API existed to get file access directly from OAK. This > might also meet some use cases documented at > [https://wiki.apache.org/jackrabbit/JCR%20Binary%20Usecase] > Suggested API and implementation can be found here [1]. Also, see attached > diagram [2]. > I can create a patch if I can get some feedback. Note that suggested API > makes it explicit that a temp file is created. I am not sure if direct access > to files in datasore would be safe. But I am open to suggestions. > [1] > > [https://github.com/hsaginor/jackrabbit-oak/blob/directFileAccess/oak-api/src/main/java/org/apache/jackrabbit/oak/api/blob/FileReferencable.java] > > [https://github.com/hsaginor/jackrabbit-oak/blob/directFileAccess/oak-api/src/main/java/org/apache/jackrabbit/oak/api/blob/TempFileReference.java] > > [https://github.com/hsaginor/jackrabbit-oak/blob/directFileAccess/oak-api/src/main/java/org/apache/jackrabbit/oak/api/blob/TempFileReferenceProvider.java] > > [https://github.com/hsaginor/jackrabbit-oak/blob/directFileAccess/oak-blob-plugins/src/main/java/org/apache/jackrabbit/oak/plugins/blob/datastore/FileDSBlobTempFileReference.java] > > [https://github.com/hsaginor/jackrabbit-oak/blob/directFileAccess/oak-blob-plugins/src/main/java/org/apache/jackrabbit/oak/plugins/blob/datastore/DataStoreBlobStore.java] > > [https://github.com/hsaginor/jackrabbit-oak/blob/directFileAccess/oak-segment-tar/src/main/java/org/apache/jackrabbit/oak/segment/SegmentBlob.java] > > [https://github.com/hsaginor/jackrabbit-oak/blob/directFileAccess/oak-store-spi/src/main/java/org/apache/jackrabbit/oak/plugins/value/jcr/BinaryImpl.java] > [2] > !OAK File Access.jpg! -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
