Hi, all. Since it has been a frequent topic of conversation recently, I'd like to get a roadmap dialog started on the topic of a companion blob/document store for Neo. While there are plenty of ways to "roll our own", it requires a lot of extra effort when we get into HA and load balanced scenarios. While it might not make sense to use the existing storage model in Neo for big strings/blobs, I am quite confident that it would be fairly easy to create a file-system-based storage mechanism with eventually consistent replication that is tightly integrated with Neo (which, of course, could be pluggable to allow integrating stores such as Amazon S3, Mongo, Jackrabbit, etc.).
It would be very easy to create a generic pattern for "blob" properties which would internally maintain the logical storage system ID (as mentioned in the previous sentence) and the unique key/ID in that store. Property storage/retrieval could be transparently delegated to the the blob storage provider, again, with file-system-based as the default/built-in. Additionally, the replication and online backup infrastructure would be aware of this and, in the case of the built-in file system store would take care of the replication, and in the case of others, would simply replicate the references or maybe even delegate to the storage provider extension/plug-in to let it decide how to handle it.
