Concern - Data Store and AEM DAM Implementation for large sized images

Anyone please??

Hi,

The DataStore is an implementation detail. Whether a particular binary property is stored in the DataStore or not is not something your application needs to be concerned about as it is all handled at the low-level repository level, i.e. well below the point where the image component or any other component is executing.

Regarding  performance, i plan on having assets stored at some location in another environment, I would get it into AEM(by uploading), generate renditions, metadata and then delete the binary data , and have it referenced to an external url where the binary data is stored.

I came to a point where i could upload the asset and generate metadata and renditions along with setting a url property to reference the asset from a remote location, but when i wanted to delete the jcr:data, it threw an error that was a mandatory property and cannot be null,

so i was wondering if i could get an approach just the way aem stores binary data elsewhere but references in  AEM(say the image component) so that i could work along similar lines to implement above use case

In addition to that , if the binary data is stored in the data store,  what gets stored in the jcr:data of the original file?

You should not try to manually inject binary data into the DataStore nor should you try to manually remove data from the DataStore. As I said, it is an implementation detail of the repository.

From your application's perspective, a binary property is just a stream of bits. You don't know that it comes from the DataStore or the TarPM.

Thank you Justin, but I a, not trying to manipulate anything with the data store i am trying to understand the implementation, so that i could have assets in AEM DAM with renditions and metadata and a reference to the asset's binary data but without any binary data stored in AEM, just the way data store operates.

That is why i am trying to understand the flow.
