Re: [Exist-open] Organizing large collection

[Duncan P. <du...@ex...>]

Dear Alberto,

Internally it doesn’t matter to exist. However, practically I find it convenient to have more manageable chunks in sub-collections so that paging for requests become easier, or browsing the collection in your ide of choice. Here it very much makes a difference in that 150k files will degrade performance of any ide should one accidentally open the folder. 

Greetings
Duncan
