Hi Feng-chien: With regard to your first question, there is no support in 1.4.2 for automatic replication or backup to a secondary store. This is certainly a desirable feature, and it is 'on the radar' for future storage development. With regard to the second question, the 'ItemImport' batch

Hi Simon: While I don't doubt for a moment that there are undiscovered memory leaks in DSpace, I'm not sure I follow the case you describe. By 'object cache' I'm guessing you mean the cache that is held by the Context object. This cache is private to the Context instance, and Contexts as a rule

Hi Tiago: That limit was put in because the progress bar on the top starts to distort the page beyond 6 (since it has a section for each step). You can relax it by renumbering the steps in SubmitServlet (they are constants in the source file), but be prepared to grapple with the progress bar

Hi Cory: Not sure about the limits of Lucene, but I think the larger point is that the back-ends are expected only to hold the real content or assets. Everything else (full-text indices and the like) are *artifacts* (can be recreated from the assets) that we don't need to manage in the same way.
