Re: [p2-dev] iterators, queries, and collectors....oh my!!
|
This is a great usecase. In the IFutureStatus proposal there is
hasNext() and isDone(). Does this capture the situation from an API
point of view? (i.e., is mightHaveNext() equivalent to !isDone())? I
don't think the current FutureStatus impl has the desired semantics for
this case but clearly something could be implemented.
Regarding filtering, does anyone have thoughts on the following scenario:
Say I have a query that looks for IUs that are SDKs (they have SDK in their name or something), and I invoke this query. (it may go across the wire, it doesn't really matter). As this starts returning results, I start to populate a list.
Then I filter the list (looking for the EMF SDK I type EM). Does it make sense for this to be a new query (look for SDK's + name contains "EM"), or should we have a "filter" on the query results. So I can say, ok, as these results come in, only give me back ones that contain EM. Then, if I type EMF, it has all the results, and it just does a different filter.
So essentially, should we have "pattern match" or simply "filters" on query results?
cheers,
Ian
