This is also my preferred way to handle this situation.

There is an existing issue about where this is discussed as well:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-4529

The DocumentNodeStore and I think also the SegmentNodeStore already have 
a read-only mode and it wouldn't be too difficult to allow at least 
reads when possible.
