Woonsan Ko updated JCR-4354:
----------------------------
Description:
I think it would be nice to have a VFS (commons-vfs) based {{FileSystem}} which
then can be used by {{BundleFsPersistenceManager}}.
For example, I have worked with a Jackrabbit based WCMS product which
recommends using one of {{BundleDbPersistenceManager}} components for both
workspaces and version for clustering.
One typical problem is that the version storage in DBMS keeps increasing a lot,
so as a result we've recommended cleaning up older version items periodically.
(You may google "cms version cleaner" for more info.)
In this case, if they were able to configure a VFS based {{FileSystem}} and the
generic {{PersistenceManager}}, {{BundleFsPersistenceManager}}, for the
versions, their DB size would keep small enough, and they may keep the version
items almost infinitely. Actually versioning are used very rarely, only when
authoring users publish a document in our case. So, keeping versions separately
from database wouldn't be a problem, as long as it's easily clusterable
(through WebDAV or SFTP for instance).
And, another possible use case is that some people may use VFS based
{{FileSystem}} and the generic {{PersistenceManager}} for both workspaces and
version, backed by a clustered WebDAV server or SFTP server. That could help
increase architectural options as well. Also, they can use VFS-based DataStore
provided by JCR-3975.
