Dominique Pfister commented on OAK-1333:
----------------------------------------
Some technical detail: currently, when a stream is written to the SegmentStore,
it will be prepended by its length, which may occupy 1,2 or 4 bytes. These
lengths are introduced with 2 bits 0x (where x might be 0 or 1),10 and 11,
respectively. In my approach, I used another sequence, namely 111. This could
generate a clash with streams of length bigger or equal to 0x2000000000000000
(2 exabytes).
> Support for Blobs in external storage

> Key: OAK-1333
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-1333
> Project: Jackrabbit Oak
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: segmentmk
> Affects Versions: 0.14
> Reporter: Dominique Pfister
> Assignee: Dominique Pfister
> Attachments: patch.txt
>
>
> Currently, when putting a Blob into a PropertyState, the SegmentNodeStore
> automatically consumes the Blob if it isn't of type SegmentBlob, and stores
> its contents in the SegmentStore.
> It would be nice, if one could put _external_ Blobs as well, where the
> SegmentStore would only store a reference to it.
