Micah Whitacre updated JCR-1753:
--------------------------------

    Attachment: JCR-1753.tar.gz

I forgot to include the link to the mailing list thread in the original bug description[1].

The attachment contains patches for the 1.4 branch of the jackrabbit-core and jackrabbit-api projects.  It adds the method forceClusterSync() to the JackrabbitRepository interface and implements the method in the three implementations of the interface.

The patches stray from Jukka's suggestion of naming the method sync() as the use case I was needing solved involved a clustered environment.  sync() seems general enough that it might indicate the repository implementation would pick up any changes made to the data store.  I know on the mailing list altering the database directly instead of through JCR/Jackrabbit API is discouraged so perhaps that isn't a valid use case.

I'm also not completely familiar with all use cases and therefore the implementations of the method only work in a clustered environment.  I assume that multiple repositories hitting the same database in an unclustered environment could be considered invalid.  However if this assumption is incorrect then the code will need to be changed to handle that.

> Based on the thread on the user mailing list I'm logging this to propose adding a sync() method to force cluster synchronization using the JackrabbitRepository extension API.
> The purpose of the method is such that in a distributed clustered environment sometime cluster synchronization does or has not occurred such that certain repositories are in a stale state.  This method would provide a means to force a repository to update pull in possible changes made by other Jackrabbit repositories.
