In order to decrease the load on the database and heap
from large attachments, I would like to
propose a filesystem based storage mechanism. I propose the addition of 2 interfaces for
storing
large binary content, a database table to track the files on the filesystem, a new
configuration
parameter for the location of persistent filesystem storage, and an implementation of
each interface.
The reason for writing an abstract binary storage interface rather than a new
implementation of
AttachmentStore, AttachmentVersioningStore, and AttachmentRecycleBinStore is that the
code would be
duplicated or should I say triplicated. BinaryStore will provide a means for not only
storage of
attachments but storage of other large items which we may decide we want in the future.
I plan to keep the current implementations of AttachmentStore, AttachmentVersioningStore
and
AttachmentRecycleBinStore intact so it will be the user's choice how they store
attachments.
interface com.xpn.xwiki.store.BinaryStore will contain:
@param toLoad a binary object with an id number set, will be loaded.
void loadObject(BinaryObject toLoad)
@param toStore a binary object, if no id is present then it will be given one upon
successful
store, if id is present then that id number will be used.
void storeObject(BinaryObject toStore)
This will be implemented by: com.xpn.xwiki.store.hibernate.HibernateBinaryStore
My mistake com.xpn.xwiki.store.filesystem.FilesystemBinaryStore
com.xpn.xwiki.doc.BinaryObject would contain:
void addContent(InputStream content)
OutputStream addContent()
void clear()
InputStream getContent()
void getContent(OutputStream writeTo)
clear() would clear the underlying file whereas addContent would always append to it.
The added column would look like this:
<class name="com.xpn.xwiki.store.doc.FilesystemBinaryObject"
table="filesystembinaryobject">
<id name="id" column="id">
<generator class="native" />
</id>
<property name="fileURI" type="string">
<column name="fileuri" length="255"
not-null="true"/>
</property>
</class>
WDYT?
