The comment on the change is:
added info on how clustering and datastore work together

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Clustering in Jackrabbit works as follows: content is shared between all cluster nodes. That means all Jackrabbit cluster nodes need access to the SAME persistent storage (persistence manager and data store). The [PersistenceManagerFAQ persistence manager] must be clusterable (eg. central database that allows for concurrent access); any DataStore (file or DB) is clusterable by its very nature, as they store content by unique hash ids. However, each cluster node needs its own (private) FileSystem and ["Search"] index.

  Every change made by one cluster node is reported in a journal, which can be either file based or written to some database.
