Hi Bram,
RE "high volume website with a jackrabbit cluster"
So are you planning to use external blobs with a fault tolerant shared file
system to achieve JackRabbit clustering? The 'only' reason we've put blobs
internal to the database is to achieve clustering/fault-tolerance.
Regards,
Shaun

At this point because I want to know we can and to be able to compare
performance. Our use-case will be a high volume website with a jackrabbit
cluster underneath. As all static content (mainly images) will be dumped to
disk anyway to be rsynced and served by httpd it would be a way to ease the
load on the db.

Bram
