                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-2049
             Project: Jackrabbit Content Repository
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: jackrabbit-jcr-commons
            Reporter: Thomas Mueller

            Priority: Minor


I propose to write a tool for large or long running transactions. Instead of 
keeping the changes in the transient space until a transaction is completed, a 
backup of the current state is stored in a backup area. This allows to save 
intermediate steps.

I propose to create add a tool (probably just one class) in the 
jackrabbit-jcr-commons project, package org.apache.jackrabbit.commons.tools:

class LargeTransactionTool {
  LargeTransactionTool getInstance(Session session, String backupPath);
  beginTransaction();
  deleteRecursive(Node n);
  Node addNode(Node parent, String name);
  backup(Node n);
  backupRecursive(Node n);
  commit();
  rollback();
}

An application could then use the tool as follows:

LargeTransactionTool tool = LargeTransactionTool.getInstance(session, 
"/backupArea");
tool.backup(n1);
n1.setProperty(...);
session.save();
tool.deleteRecursive(n2);
session.save();
n4 = tool.addNode(n3, "x");
session.save();
tool.commit();
