Marcel Reutegger commented on OAK-9132:
---------------------------------------
I wanted to keep dependencies to a minimum and provide flexibility how features
are actually toggled. The proposal only depends on the already existing Oak
concept of a Whiteboard. In most cases this indeed means a feature toggle is
registered as an OSGi service.
> Feature toggles
> ---------------
>
> Key: OAK-9132
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-9132
> Project: Jackrabbit Oak
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: core-spi
> Reporter: Marcel Reutegger
> Assignee: Marcel Reutegger
> Priority: Minor
>
> Introduce the concept of [feature
> toggles|https://martinfowler.com/articles/feature-toggles.html]. Oak already
> has various system properties that control configuration or runtime behaviour
> of the repository. With Oak moving to a more frequent release cycle there is
> an increased need for control over new features. Some features should not be
> enabled by default, for other features we may want to have a way to disable
> if they introduce unexpected side effects for some users. Preferably, feature
> toggles can be changed at runtime and no restart is required.
> It should also be possible to integrate third party systems that manage
> feature toggles centrally.
