Description

The Session Pool Support code in the jcr/base bundle has a few issues:

• Only works with SimpleCredentials authentication
• Wrong level of abstraction: such optimizations are the task of the repository implementation and not of the user
• Cleanup of the session for reuse is brittle and timeconsuming (due to a JCR search to ensure unlocking transient locks)
• Little to no gain in performance (in fact performance is even lower than using plain Jackrabbit Sessions.

In addition, I suspect session pooling to be responsible for various strange integration test failures (see also SLING-1272).

Therefore Session Pool support should be removed.
