Andy Seaborne commented on JENA-1074:
-------------------------------------

JENA-1158 

Union graph should work everywhere now.

Quads in the union graph would have to be created on-the-fly - returning the 
underlying quads with the originating graph might make for unstable results 
(different graph name from call to call).

So anything {{Iterator<Quad>}} is not so useful.

That leaves {{DatasetGraph.getUnionGraph()}} as a shorthand for 
{{DatasetGraph.getGraph(Quad.unionGraph)}}.

{{GraphOps.unionGraph}} is available but hard to find ({{GraphOps}} is internal 
really).

NB The union graph is read-only.

> Add find operations for DatasetGraph for the union graph.

>             Project: Apache Jena
>          Issue Type: Brainstorming
>          Components: ARQ

> (This follows on from JENA-1064)
> {{DatasetGraphBaseFind}} now has a {{find}} operations for the union graph 
> added to make implementation easier.
> Should operation(s) be exposed in the core interface {{DatasetGraph}} (the 
> application contract)? If so, how?
> The operations to consider include:
> * {{findInUnionGraph}} ({{Iterator<Triple>}})
> * {{findQuadsInUnionGraph}} ({{Iterator<Quad>}})
> * {{findInDftGraph}} ({{Iterator<Quad>}} - inconsistent naming with above)
> At the moment {{findInDftGraph}} returns quads and documents 
> {{DatasetGraph.getDefaultGraph().find()}} as being the way to get triples. 
> This suggests a different style where {{DatasetGraph}} has:
> * {{DatasetGraph.getUnionGraph()}}
> * {{DatasetGraphFind.findInUnionGraph}} ({{Iterator<Quad>}})
