@Olaf:
Looking at the API you proposed
public interface StreamingHandler<K> {
void writeToKey(K key, InputStream largeObject);
OutputStream writeToKey(K key);
InputStream readFromKey(K key);
boolean removeKey(K key);
StreamingHandler<K> withFlags(Flag... flags);
}
and what I actually need:
*
http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/source/browse/trunk/java/src/mai...
--> see openRecordWriteChannel and openRecordReadChannel
Where the read has a way of jumping back&forth in the channel,
and write can seal the written bytes with closeFinally.

Hence I guess we could change it to
Closeable writeToKey(K key, InputStream largeObject); -- returning a handle to seal off
(making it immutable from then on)
InputStream readFromKey (K key, long position); -- also taking position into
consideration
Wdyt?
(unfortunately I also don't have the time to help with impl,
but I'm definitely willing to test it (since I need it anyway, right :-)))
