Hi, >2. You really really want a folder hierarchy. >(I say #2 as .5 because I believe tagging fills this need, so who cares >about folders?)
There are some additional reasons to use folders (web URLs are hierarchical, file system are). >The other things Jackrabbit brings to the table like versioning, locking, >restrictions >can be implemented in very little time from scratch. Well, unfortunately that's not always true, depending on the use case. Otherwise, Jackrabbit would be a lot simpler... Compared to Elasticsearch. Well as far as I know Elasticsearch is about search, and lacks typical "database" features like cross-document transactions. MongoDB and other NoSQL storage are probably closer to a regular database, but also typically lacks that (plus fulltext search). Compared to relational databases, Jackrabbit has fulltext and mixed (property and fulltext) queries, unstructured / semi-structured content. And of course, Jackrabbit is open source :-) Regards, Thomas
