Hi Bram, RE "high volume website with a jackrabbit cluster" So are you planning to use external blobs with a fault tolerant shared file system to achieve JackRabbit clustering? The 'only' reason we've put blobs internal to the database is to achieve clustering/fault-tolerance.

At this point because I want to know we can and to be able to compare performance. Our use-case will be a high volume website with a jackrabbit cluster underneath. As all static content (mainly images) will be dumped to disk anyway to be rsynced and served by httpd it would be a way to ease the load on the db. regards, Bram > -----Original Message----- > From: sbarriba [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, August 01, 2007 3:18 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: RE: Easy way to migrate to externalBlobs? > > Out of interest Bram. > Why are you migrating from internal to external? > Regards, > Shaun. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Bram de Kruijff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 01 August 2007 13:36 > To: [email protected] > Subject: Easy way to migrate to externalBlobs? > > Hi, > > we need to convert a JackRabbit repository using bundle > persistencemanagers to use externalBlobs.
