Jackrabbit Persistence Manager - relevance of externalBLOBs attribute

0

What is the relevance of the externalBLOBs attribute in Jackrabbit's PersistenceManager class? We are running Jackrabbit 1.6.4 on Oracle using the org.apache.jackrabbit.core.persistence.bundle.OraclePersistenceManager class. For clustering, we are using the org.apache.jackrabbit.core.journal.OracleDatabaseJournal and the org.apache.jackrabbit.core.data.FileDataStore with a shared location.

The cluster is working, but I want to make sure we optimize it for performance.

Should we change the value of the externalBLOBs attribute in this setting? The default value is true.

The DataStore replaced the externalBLOB feature. If you are using the data store, you can and should disable this option.

For improved performance, you should upgrade to Jackrabbit 2.x. If you can't upgrade what is the reason?
