Chetan Mehrotra commented on JCR-3534: -------------------------------------- +1 for the new feature JCR-3448 talks about similar requirement. At that time the thought was to use a custom Binary implementation which can be serialized and deserialzed. The requirement for that issue was more around DataStore backed by S3. To address the security concern we could have used S3 Signed URL which are valid for certain duration [1] as the opaque identifier which is passed around. So may be we can have some service provided by DataStore which can provide such safe ids which can be passed around and still be secure [1] http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5419264/best-practice-amazons3-url-sharing > 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). 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. > See also the dev@ thread > http://jackrabbit.markmail.org/thread/gedk5jsrp6offkhi -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
