>  NodeTypeRegistry:

> ("Config - the cluster should

> config data in my understanding.

the NodeTypeRegistry is mutable. new node types can be registered at runtime. 
all nodes in a cluster 
must be informed on changes in the NodeTypeRegistry.

> Access mgr:
> We plan to implement some access manager for our project based on ACL objects

if you're AccessManager implementation reads the ACL's from repository content 
i assume it caches 
the ACL's for better performance. your AccessManager must be therefore aware of 
changed ACL's
and flush its cache accordingly.

btw: managing ACL's in content inevitably leads to chicken&egg kind of problems 
and generally 
require nasty hacks.

versioning subsystem and ref integrity mgmt need to be cluster-aware as well.

>
> This jira issue discusses the technical implications on the current design of 
> Jackrabbit to introduce clustering.
> Particularly the following areas require thorough investigation:
> - SharedItemStateManager and its cache
>     - cache integrity
>     - cache design: look aside, write through?
>     - hook for distributed cache, interface?
>     - isolation level
>     - transaction integrity within Jackrabbit, interaction with transient 
> layer
> - VirtualItemStateProvider
>     - same strategy as SharedItemStateManager?
> - Search index
>     - single or per cluster node index?
> - Observation
> Please state more areas if needed.
