----------------------------------
Summary: Blobs shouldn't be Comparable
Key: OAK-1049
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-1049
Project: Jackrabbit Oak
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: core
Reporter: Jukka Zitting
Assignee: Jukka Zitting
In OAK-350 Blobs were made Comparable to make them easier to compare in
higher-level code.
Unfortunately the implementation is broken ({{compareTo}} is not transitive)
and potentially very slow for large binaries, which suggests that it shouldn't
be exposed at least on the public API level.
Thus I suggest to drop the Comparable feature from Blobs and replace the few
places where it is needed with {{equals()}} checks or explicit scanning of the
streams.
