Hi devs,
As detailed in another mail
(http://lists.xwiki.org/pipermail/devs/2008-February/005344.html), the
current attachment archive mechanism is very inefficient. We should
write a new one, which stores attachment versions as plain binary
data,
and see if the current core is pluggable enough to allow the old
mechanism to be preserved as a plugin, and possibly define other
storage
mechanisms, like a filesystem based one.
Artem, do you think you can help, as this is something related to what
you've been working on?
My only worry is that last time we changed the database format we
spent several months stabilizing it... since there were lots of
problems. I'm not even sure we've finished stabilizing it fully...
So is there any chance that this would be simpler? :)
Thanks
