> I think it would be nice to have a VFS (commons-vfs) based {{Persistence Manager}}.
> For example, I have worked with a Jackrabbit based WCMS product which recommends using one of {{BundleDbPersistenceManager}} components for both workspaces and version for clustering.
> One typical problem is that the version storage in DBMS keeps increasing a lot, so as a result we've recommended cleaning up older version items periodically. (You may google "cms version cleaner" for more info.)
> In this case, if they were able to configure a VFS based Persistence Manager for the versions, their DB size would keep small enough, and they may keep the version items almost infinitely. Actually versioning are used very rarely, only when authoring users publish a document in our case. So, keeping versions separately from database wouldn't be a problem, as long as it's easily clusterable (through WebDAV or SFTP for instance).
> And, another possible use case is that some people may use VFS based PersistenceManager for both workspaces and version, backed by a clustered WebDAV server or SFTP server. That could help increase architectural options as well. Also, they can use VFS-based DataStore provided by JCR-3975.
