----------------------------------
Summary: Root record references provide too little context for
parsing a segment
Key: OAK-2498
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-2498
Project: Jackrabbit Oak
Issue Type: Bug
Components: segmentmk
Reporter: Michael Dürig
Assignee: Michael Dürig
According to the [documentation |
http://jackrabbit.apache.org/oak/docs/nodestore/segmentmk.html] the root record
references in a segment header provide enough context for parsing all records
within this segment without any external information.
Turns out this is not true: if a root record reference turns e.g. to a list
record. The items in that list are record ids of unknown type. So even though
those records might live in the same segment, we can't parse them as we don't
know their type.
