Description

For OAK-6580 we need to validate node types at mount time. The logic to perform the validation is properly encapsulated in the org.apache.jackrabbit.oak.plugins.nodetype.TypeEditor class. There are two issues which we need to work around:

• the type is not accessible
• the constraint violation handling is not pluggable - it either fails or log a WARN

My proposal is to:

• make the TypeEditor public and add a factory method for accesing it
• add a ConstraintViolationCallback interface which must be passed in to the TypeEditor
