Felix Meschberger commented on JCR-3534:
----------------------------------------
This does not solve my problems at all: I have two separate systems (separate
JVMs and no clustering but shared data store) involved. So a Binary object
from one system cannot be used on the other system without serializing and
deserializing it.
My proposal uses the data store identity as the serialization mechanism and
uses the new JackrabbitSesssion.getValueByContentIdentity as the
deserialization mechanism.
Another option would be to have such a method on a new JackrabbitValueFactory
class. But since we have a content identifier and want to get at content, we
need some level of access control. So we need that access control in the
JackrabbitValueFactory which would be the only method in the
JackrabbitValueFactory which employs access control to create a value....

> we have a couple of use cases, where we would like to leverage the global
> data store to prevent sending around and copying around large binary data
> unnecessarily: We have two separate Jackrabbit instances configured to use
> the same DataStore (for the sake of this discussion assume we have the
> problems of concurrent access and garbage collection under control). When
> sending content from one instance to the other instance we don't want to send
> potentially large binary data (e.g. video files) if not needed.
> The idea is for the sender to just send the content identity from
> JackrabbitValue.getContentIdentity(). The receiver would then check whether
> the such content already exists and would reuse if so:
> String ci = contentIdentity_from_sender;
> try {
> Value v = session.getValueByContentIdentity(ci);
> Property p = targetNode.setProperty(propName, v);
> } catch (ItemNotFoundException ie) {
> // unknown or invalid content Identity
> } catch (RepositoryException re) {
> // some other exception
> }
> Thus the proposed JackrabbitSession.getValueByContentIdentity(String) method
> would allow for round tripping the JackrabbitValue.getContentIdentity()
> preventing superfluous binary data copying and moving.
