I have put together a brief design for ISPN-78. Please take a look, it is on the wiki:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://community.jboss.org/wiki/LargeObjectSupport" target="_blank">https://community.jboss.org/wiki/LargeObjectSupport</a><br>
<br>
I have also deferred ISPN-78 to 5.0.0 rather than 4.1.0 as I'd rather not hold up 4.1.0 for new features at this stage.<br>
<br>
Please have a look at the designs and let me know what you think - or comment on the wiki page.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
