How if clustering is not an option ? Consider for example, I have an author box and a publish box. For various reasons both share the same Data Store. The straight forward approach to send binaries from the author box to the publish box would be to extract the binary from the Data Store on the author box and push it back in to the Data Store on the publish box, just for the Data Store to realize the binary is actually the same. On the reading side we can retrieve an identifier (JackrabbitValue.getContentIdentifier). I just need a way to reuse the binary data referred to by that content Identifier on the publish side. > Add JackrabbitSession.getValueByContentId method > ------------------------------------------------ > > Key: JCR-3534 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-3534 > Project: Jackrabbit Content Repository > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: jackrabbit-api, jackrabbit-core > Affects Versions: 2.6 > Reporter: Felix Meschberger > Attachments: JCR-3534.patch > > > 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).
