No, the concurrent versioning problem is more fundamental, dating all
the way back to JCR-18.

The problem with concurrent versioning is that the version store
shared by all workspaces, so locking the workspace-specific
SharedItemStateManager isn't enough to guarantee atomic access to the
versioning store. There's a separate locking mechanism for the version
store, but the exact locking sequences and interactions are not very
well managed, leading to potential consistency issues and even
deadlocks when versioning operations are performed in parallel.

There's discussion about the problem on the dev@ mailing list and
we've seen some progress in eliminating at least the worst deadlocks,
but the basic problem still remains.

Are you referring to the implications of JCR-314 issue only, or are
there any other design consideration ?

Thanks,
Pablo

We consider Jackrabbit to be the most feature-rich and
standards-complient open source JCR implementation. Jackrabbit
implements all the mandatory and optional features in JCR.

The first stable version, 1.0, of Jackrabbit was released a year ago,
and we are now working on the 1.3 release. See
http://jackrabbit.apache.org/news.html for the full release history. A
number of people and organizations are using Jackrabbit in production
environments.

Of course, like any ongoing software project, we have known issues.
The most notable problems currently are support for concurrent
versioning operations and lack of proper administration tools and
documentation.
