Jackrabbit and data stores

["Treague, Keith" <Ke...@merrillcorp.com>]

Hi all!

I'm looking over the docs for the datastore. In the FAQ it says "Can I change the file content in the data store? A: No. The whole point of the data store is that the content is immutable". What I'm wondering, is if I use a datastore, upload a file into jackrabbit, then try to create a new version with a different file, can the new version replace the file content?

I'm also wondering if you have a node with multiple versions do they all point to the same file in the datastore or does it replicate the file for each version?

Hi,

If the content is different, the new version would be stored in a new
file (a new file with a different name).

> multiple versions do they all point to the same file

If the content is the same, then the same file is re-used.
