Anthony Baker commented on GEODE-2041:
--------------------------------------
FWIW, scalar results will be a different type according to the javadocs:
{quote}
* @return The object that represents the result of the query. Note that if a
query is just a
* select statement then it will return a result that is an instance
of
* {@link SelectResults}. However, since a query is not necessarily
just a select
* statement, the return type of this method is <code>Object</code>.
For example, the
* query <code><b>(select distinct * from /rgn).size</b></code>
returns an instance of
* <code>java.lang.Integer</code>.
{quote}
I agree that a better return type than {code}Object{code} would make the API
easier to use.
> Query.execute should return a more meaningful response

> Query.execute's signature says the return type is Object. It seems to always
> be a {{SearchResults}} object, so why not return that?
