Hello Mathias, IMHO sounds like you are planning to re-invent the wheel while all things you want (AFAICS) are already largely available as open source projects, and perhaps more important, open standards.
Your hierarchical data storage sounds like jsr-170 and jsr-283 are the open standard solutions for this, and apache Jackrabbit is the reference implementation for this. And, all indexing is done out-of-the-box, and of course, all done with Lucene. Searching can be done by a subset of SQL or XPATH (see jsr-170), or you can add your own. Furtermore, adding apache Tika for automatic meta data extraction and Sanselan for automatic image meta data extraction is really straight forward.
