-----------------------------------
Assignee: Thomas Mueller
> On missing child node, automatically rename entry when trying to add a node
> with the same name
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: JCR-2740
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-2740
> Project: Jackrabbit Content Repository
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: jackrabbit-core
> Reporter: Thomas Mueller
> Assignee: Thomas Mueller
>
> If a node points to a non-existing child node (which is a repository
> inconsistency), currently this child node is silently ignored for read
> operations (as far as I can tell). However, when trying to add another child
> node with the same name, an exception is thrown with a message saying a child
> node with this name already exists.
> I suggest to rename the missing child node entry in that case (for example
> add the current date/time, or a random digit until there is no conflict), and
> then continue with adding the new child node. I wouldn't automatically remove
> the bad entry, because the node might "appear" later (after a restore), and
> because removing data from the repository seems wrong.
> It's not a perfect solution, but it might be better than throwing an
> exception and basically preventing changes.
