I need a JCR that has infinite capacity. This is for a photo
repository that would store millions of 5-10MB photos. The photos
themselves would not change. I need to be able to add
One idea that I've been toying with is to create a persistence
manager that manages multiple stores. Some of these stores could
even be on other physical servers, maybe even be a farm of servers.
I was thinking of managing the node and property states along the
same lines as the google file system manages blocks; I have some
ideas how this can be done simply. Property and node states could be
duplicated for resiliance in the face of disk/server failures.
Another nice thing is that I could map the JCR path to a URL to the
actual file server and have the file server serve up the file w/out
having to go through the JCR metadata layer.
Another way might be to graft Hadoop as a FileSystem.
I realize that this may only make sense in the limited application
of storing photos that are not modified. Thoughts?

Alan
