Thomas Mueller commented on JCR-2619:
-------------------------------------
You would need at least a long and an int to represent the date with the
timezone.
A String does use quite a lot of memory, but it's easier than writing a
separate serialization.

> Project: Jackrabbit Content Repository
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: jackrabbit-core, jackrabbit-spi-commons
> Reporter: Stefan Guggisberg
> Fix For: 2.2.0

> Attachments:
> JCR-2619_improved_internal_representation_of_DATE_values.patch
>
>
> DATE values are currently internally represented as java.util.Calendar
> objects.
> Calendar objects have a huge memory footprint (approx 200bytes per instance)
> and are mutable.
> i suggest to replace the internal DATE representation with a ISO8601 format
> string
> (immutable and approx. 85-90% smaller footprint).
