There are no limits to what we might consider in the future. In order to
deal with this, instance methods are a better choice than class methods, I
agree. I'm sceptical about the other points you make, but I won't go into
that for now.
Accordingly, the proposed methods become:
MMObjectBuilder:
public List getNodes(NodeSearchQuery query) throws
SearchQueryException;
public int count(NodeSearchQuery query) throws SearchQueryException;
ClusterBuilder:
public List getClusterNodes(SearchQuery query) throws
SearchQueryException;
