Michael Dürig commented on OAK-8186:
------------------------------------
Thanks for these clarifications [~mattvryan]. I agree with you that at this
point it is not clear why we should implement this into Oak. IMO this only
leads to a tighter coupling whereas implementing a set of utilities for
streaming a {{Binary}} into a temp file would be more versatile.
> 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.
