+1 for the data store api with Felix' extensions + the separate management API
package
For the mark()/sweep() vs. gc() I would opt for the mark/sweep variant, since I
guess the synchronization inside the datastore implementation would be very
hard to do, since the datastore itself doesn't know all the repositories that
use the same datastore location. If there will be a future garbage collection
mechanism that can directly delete items for example, the implementation of
mark() wouldn't do anything. Most clients will call mark() and sweep() in a row
and the ones that work in a shared situation would do it as Thomas noted. And
we don't want people to use the "lower-level APIs".

> Currently, the garbage collection is not part of the Jackrabbit API. However,
> the data store garbage collection must be used once in a while if the data
> store is enabled. I propose to add the required interfaces to the Jackrabbit
> API. This will also allow to call garbage collection using RMI.
