I can't see why a blob on the FS would be faster to search - searching should happen against the lucene index, no? Retrieval and streaming of large blobs are likely to be faster from the FS, but I don't think search itself would be.

About the db, ok, it can be on another independent machine. The only issue I think in store blob outside the db is referente to backup methods. The blob in filesystem is faster to search and manipulate than if it is stored in a db. >Hi again Helio. > >I think is possible to separate: > >- Web container in a machine >- Repository and Data Storage in another machine >- MetaData about the Nodes and properties in a DataBase in another machine > >With JCRServer, you can configure a remote repository, with a workspace >with SimpleDBPersister for metadata.
