Description Martin Lippert CLA 2014-09-10 14:32:09 EDT
good (and possibly hard to calculate) content-assist in Flux is produced in the server-side by some service running in the cloud. This could result in content-assist not showing up IMMEDIATELY without any slight delay when pressing a button or while typing. We should investigate ways to implement better and predictive content-assist in order to deal with this situation.

The idea behind this is to calculate predictive content-assist information all the time, stream that to the client, and filter out proposals that are not valid anymore (because the user typed different stuff). The goal is to make the "predictive" nature of this content-assist good enough to cover most of the content-assist cases.
