[jira] [Commented] (OAK-2520) Expose checkpoints in the ContentSession interface

["Michael Dürig (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-2520?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14322527#comment-14322527 ] 

Michael Dürig commented on OAK-2520:
------------------------------------

Apart from my concerns on the list [1] I think creating a {{MutableRoot}} from a checkpoint is risky. I'm not sure whether this will perform or even work properly on all backends. Before going forward with this we should have much better testing in place (including performance).

Furthermore conceptually checkpoints do not belong to the {{ContentSessions}} but to the {{ContentRepository}} as a checkpoint always covers the whole repository and a content sessions only a single workspace.

> Checkpoints could be an acceptable solution to implement the concept of "revision" described in the remote API linked from OAK-2502.
> For clients of Oak to use checkpoints, those should be exposed from the {{ContentSession}} API.
