Igniters,
We're planning to add the footer to a marshalled array of an Object to
perform queries faster when fields are used in a query.
So I have a question.
Imagine that we have two objects.
class Employee {
private int age;
private String name;
private Department department;
}
class Department {
private int id;
private String name;
}
When an Employee object is being marshalled using OptimizedMarshaller
the footer of the marshalled array will be filled up with its personal
fields only - age, name, department. Neither Employee's footer will
contain information about Department object's fields, nor Department
field or any other /enclosed/ object field will contain footer at all.
The reason is because we don't support queries like
"Select * FROM Employee as emp WHERE *emp.**department.name* = ?"
Thus, for performance and memory consumption reasons I'm planning to
propagate the footer the way above.
Any thoughts, concerns?
