Chetan Mehrotra commented on OAK-2808:
--------------------------------------
bq. existing code, afaics, already handles the concern you had with storing on
the repo. Maybe, we should extend this than doing the local file idea.
I would prefer to avoid writing this data in repository and keep it on local
file system. As per current approach the deleted file itself are saved as
BINARY property which would prevent the normal gc from reclaiming them. We
would need to save them as strings of blobids. Then at time of actual deletion
via gc such nodes would need to be pruned.
To start with it would be much safer to not touch repository nodestate for this
feature to work

> With storing of Lucene index files within DataStore our usage pattern
> of DataStore has changed between JR2 and Oak.
> With JR2 the writes were mostly application based i.e. if application
> stores a pdf/image file then that would be stored in DataStore. JR2 by
> default would not write stuff to DataStore. Further in deployment
> where large number of binary content is present then systems tend to
> share the DataStore to avoid duplication of storage. In such cases
> running Blob GC is a non trivial task as it involves a manual step and
> coordination across multiple deployments. Due to this systems tend to
> delay frequency of GC
> Now with Oak apart from application the Oak system itself *actively*
> uses the DataStore to store the index files for Lucene and there the
> churn might be much higher i.e. frequency of creation and deletion of
> index file is lot higher. This would accelerate the rate of garbage
> generation and thus put lot more pressure on the DataStore storage
> requirements.
