Fine grained locking in SharedItemStateManager
----------------------------------------------

         Key: JCR-314
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-314
     Project: Jackrabbit
        Type: Improvement
  Components: core  
    Reporter: Marcel Reutegger
    Priority: Minor


The SharedItemStateManager (SISM) currently uses a simple read-write lock to 
ensure data consistency. Store operations to the PersistenceManager (PM) are 
effectively serialized.

We should think about more sophisticated locking to allow concurrent writes on 
the PM.

One possible approach:

If a transaction is currently storing data in a PM a second transaction may 
check if the set of changes does not intersect with the first transaction. If 
that is the case it can safely store its data in the PM.

This fine grained locking must also be respected when reading from the SISM. A 
read request for an item that is currently being stored must be blocked until 
the store is finished.
