Matt Ryan commented on OAK-8186:
--------------------------------
[~mduerig] yes, on the surface it seems like it could be similar.
[~hsagi...@gmail.com], thanks for the suggestion. Will you please describe the
use case you are trying to address? This will help in evaluating what it is
you want to accomplish and what capabilities are actually needed. You
mentioned https://wiki.apache.org/jackrabbit/JCR%20Binary%20Usecase; if the use
case you have in mind is in that document, will you please identify
specifically which one so we know which we are talking about?
> Create API in OAK for file access to binaries in the repository.

> To get file access applications normally write binaries to temp files. It
> would be nice if an API existed to get file access directly from OAK. This
> might also meet some use cases documented at
> [https://wiki.apache.org/jackrabbit/JCR%20Binary%20Usecase]
> Suggested API and implementation can be found here [1]. Also, see attached
> diagram [2].
> I can create a patch if I can get some feedback. Note that suggested API
> makes it explicit that a temp file is created. I am not sure if direct access
> to files in datasore would be safe. But I am open to suggestions.
