Hi, I think I understand your use case, but I'm afraid all I can tell is: it won't be easy. With the current Jackrabbit implementation, you need both a PersistenceManager and a FileSystem implementation. To run queries, you additionally need to use a SearchIndex implementation, the default one uses Apache Lucene (which in turn is not using the Jackrabbit FileSystem interface). Also, for large files most likely you want a DataStore implementation (probably the easiest to implement). Clustering uses it's own storage component, but maybe it's easier in your case to ignore that and write your own clustering, because the Jackrabbit clustering is based on the assumption that the PersistenceManager is shared for all cluster nodes.
Implementing all those components is a lot of work, and all that would be lost once Jackrabbit 3 is ready. > the references on USING > the specification tend to be sparse. I agree. Regards, Thomas
