Igniters,
I keep getting requests from our users to add optional transformers to SCAN
queries. This will allow to iterate through cache, but do not transfer
whole key-value pairs across networks (e.g., get only keys). The feature
looks useful and I created a ticket [1].
I am struggling with the design now. The problem is that I wanted to extend
existing ScanQuery object for this, but this seems to be impossible because
it already extends Query<Cache.Entry<K, V>> and thus can iterate only
through entries.
The only option I see now is to create a separate query type, copy-paste
everything from ScanQuery and add *mandatory* transformer. Something like
this:
ScanTransformQuery<K, V, R> extends Query<R> {
IgniteBiPredicate<K, V> filter;
IgniteClosure<Cache.Entry<K, V>, R> transformer;
int part;
...
}
Thoughts? Does anyone has other ideas?
