[p2-dev] Match/Context naming
|
Hi,
Before I did the latest refactoring, the expression equivalent for a
context query was named QLContextQuery and resided in the QL package.
For various reasons, I had to move that to the metadata package instead.
I then renamed it ExpressionContextQuery. So now we have ExpressionQuery
and ExpressionContextQuery. The former implements IMatchQuery and thus
expects a boolean expression to be applied on each row. The latter is a
full query that is applied on all rows.
I'm not at all happy with the names. Both queries are expression
queries. And the term 'context' strikes me as a bit odd. What context?
The evaluation context? Query context?
The term 'match' is better. The each candidate is matched against a
boolean expression. But I would really like two terms that are related.
'match' and 'context' has no relationship. How about 'each' and 'all' ? I.e.
ExpressionQuery (common super)
EachQuery
AllQuery
Do you have suggestions? I'd like to hear them.
Regards,
Thomas Hallgren
