A. Soroka commented on JENA-1687:
---------------------------------
Hi, [~jmkeil], can you explain a bit about your own use case for this change?
I'm not nearly as experienced as [~andy.seaborne], but I've often found that
when people are writing code that needs to distinguish efficiently between the
subtypes of {{Node}}, it's sometimes because they're doing something that might
be more easily done in the ({{Dataset/Model/Statement/RDFNode}}) API and not
the ({{DatasetGraph/Graph/Triple/Node}}) SPI.
> Precise return types of NodeFactory methods

> I propose to precise the return types of the NodeFactory methods, e.g. to set
> NodeFactory#createURI return type to Node_URI. This makes the developers life
> easier, as there is no longer a need to cast after creating a Node, if one
> need a specific node type. I can not see any disadvantages and it should be
> backward compatible (except of classes that override these methods).
