Hi, We will probably soon need to store checksums of file attachments as part of a customer project. The goal is to be able to quickly find dupes when importing a bunch of files from a file-system folder to a nuxeo workspace.
I wondered if it would be relevant to add sha (or md5 ?) checksums by default in nuxeo, either as a Blob new feature or in a dedicated field of the file schema computed by a core event listener. Possible usage: - search / query for documents by checksum provided that the checksum field is indexed by the search service; - invalidation key for the transform service hypothetical cache; - making it easier to do integrity checks on the client side by having some browser plugin on sign the checksum instead of the complete binary; - additional metadata displayed in the UI so that geeks can check the integrity of their latest Prison Break^W^W^W Wikipedia iso before burning it to a DVD; ... -- Olivier _______________________________________________ ECM mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nuxeo.com/mailman/listinfo/ecm
