Summary: Query engine: support coalesce function as in-built method (was:
Query enging: support coalesce function as in-built method)
> Query engine: support coalesce function as in-built method
> ----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: OAK-6905
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-6905
> Project: Jackrabbit Oak
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: core, lucene, query
> Reporter: Vikas Saurabh
> Assignee: Vikas Saurabh
> Fix For: 1.8
>
>
> Sometimes the content structure stores semantically similar properties at
> different locations (due to content evolution or different locations
> genuinely represent different values).
> e.g. say a content represent a real world image as
> {{..../file1.jpg/jcr:content/file}}. Where
> {{jcr:content/metadata/exif:title}} could be title of image from exif data,
> {{jcr:content/jcr:title}} could be title explicitly set by user.
> While displaying a title, it probably makes sense to show {{jcr:title}} first
> and fallback to {{exif:title}} and then probaly to node name if nothing else
> works out.
> it'd would be useful to have such overlaying be conveyed to query engine too
> for lookup, ordering (and, of course, indexing). As a method name, sql
> colesce is exactly what should serve this purpose.
