I think the most expensive one at the moment is the MapEntries listener in resource resolver which checks for vanity path and alias properties. So this is listening on add/remove/change of those properties. The other use case is where a listener is interested in a resource type - but that can't be done on Oak level as you would need to know the resource type hierarchy and other logic to detect the resource type. So, if we want to do this, we might add a hint for property names. I wouldn't go with a general filter string, like LDAP filter - as this creates problems on both sides: these filters are not rocket science but it's a little bit hard to write them, especially if they get long. And a provider implementation needs to parse and handle them. I would rather go with a "property names filter hint" - and if we detect other use cases we add another property for that.
