             Summary: VFS (commons-vfs) based Persistence Manager
                 Key: JCR-4354
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-4354
             Project: Jackrabbit Content Repository
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Woonsan Ko


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.

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.
