Michael Dürig commented on OAK-7846:
------------------------------------
I like the format as I think it is simple enough to process trough standard
command line utilities. What I'm not sure about is the nested structure of
child nodes: this is not be processable by a finite state machine and
complicates processing with command line utilities. E.g. say you want to filter
/ flatten an export to a list of nodes each on containing only the names of its
children. I don't think this would be doable.
What about exporting to a flatted representation: the export would contain a
list of all nodes each one having its name and an unique id generated by the
tool and a list of child node name and ids?
I also somewhat dislike to have yet another format. But I share your concerns
about the existing ones. Maybe we could leave the implementation extensible in
that respect so other formats could be added later on easily enough.

> Project: Jackrabbit Oak
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: segment-tar
> Affects Versions: 1.10
> Reporter: Francesco Mari
> Assignee: Francesco Mari
> Priority: Major
>
> oak-segment-tar should have a tool that allows exporting a tree pointed to by
> a node record. The tool must be written in a way that plays along with
> existing Oak tools (see OAK-7834) and conventional UNIX ones.
