The BlobStore is being mentioned as the new advanced way of using storing blobs in http://jackrabbit.apache.org/oak/docs/plugins/blobstore.html <http://jackrabbit.apache.org/oak/docs/plugins/blobstore.html>. Unfortunately neither http://jackrabbit.apache.org/oak/docs/osgi_config.html <http://jackrabbit.apache.org/oak/docs/osgi_config.html> nor http://jackrabbit.apache.org/oak/docs/plugins/blobstore.html#SegmentNodeStore <http://jackrabbit.apache.org/oak/docs/plugins/blobstore.html#SegmentNodeStore> or http://jackrabbit.apache.org/oak/docs/plugins/blobstore.html#DocumentNodeStore <http://jackrabbit.apache.org/oak/docs/plugins/blobstore.html#DocumentNodeStore> list that as an option. Also it is not mentioned as being supported by the Blob Garbage Collection (http://jackrabbit.apache.org/oak/docs/plugins/blobstore.html#Blob_Garbage_Collection <http://jackrabbit.apache.org/oak/docs/plugins/blobstore.html#Blob_Garbage_Collection>).
So the question is: Is it safe to use the FileBlobStore instead of the FileDataStore in production? When I tried 2 years ago I ran into https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-1842 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-1842> which is now fixed. I am wondering whether that option is recommended to use for a production setup or whether that option is considered unstable (because it is also not mentioned in https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/aem/6-2/deploy/platform/data-store-config.html <https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/aem/6-2/deploy/platform/data-store-config.html>)? Thanks for any advice. Konrad BTW it would be great if the documentation pages listed above could be a littlebit clearer in that regard.
