Lazy initialize ItemDefinition
------------------------------
Key: JCR-2280
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-2280
Project: Jackrabbit Content Repository
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: jackrabbit-core
Reporter: Marcel Reutegger
Priority: Minor
Attachments: JCR-2280.patch
The item definition is currently set immediately when an ItemData is
instantiated. Accessing nodes usually does not require reading the item
definition, thus it is not necessary to load/set it that early.
Lazy initialization also has the benefit that content migration in an upgrade
scenario becomes easier. Instead of throwing an exception early, jackrabbit
could allow access to the item until an item definition is really required for
the operation.
