Repository
A repository is the container for components provided to the user. Nexus supports three types of repositories: proxy, hosted and repository groups.
Blob Store
A blob store is a storage mechanism for the binary parts of the components and their assets. Each blob store can be used by one or multiple repositories and repository groups. The repository manager starts by default with a filesystem storage-based default blob store, present in the repository manager's data directory ($NEXUS_DATA/blobs).
