Last week I posed a question about having a FeatureSource which has also 
some generalizations of the vector data to speed up response time and reduce 
data transfer. 

While it  is is surely not the problem to implement such a FeatureSource, I 
need the ScaleDenominator from the caller. 

I studied the source and I want to ask the specialists about the following 
assumptions: 

1) StreamingRenderer and ShapeFileRenderer use 
FeatureSource>>getFeatures(queryObject)
2) The Query interface offers the possibility to pass Hints 

My idea would be to pass the scaleDenominater as a hint to the queryObject.  
This makes sense since
the scaleDenominator is only usefull for some use cases and should not be 
part of the FeatureSource API. 

I am not sure here if the ScaleDenomintar is enough, perhaps a unit of 
measure is also required. On the other side,  the Query interface offers a 
getter for the CRS, I think I can get the unit from the CRS, yes or no ? 

Anyway, if my assumptions come close to the truth, I would do such an 
implementation and insert one line in the mentioned renderer classes to test 
it. 

opinions ?
