[hibernate-dev] [Search] PurgeAll & Sharding API

Hi, I just noticed that a PurgeAll request will ask the sharding strategy to know to which shard it should be applied, using the following method: getDirectoryProvidersForDeletion(Class<?> entity, Serializable id, String idInString) { and passing in null for the second and third arguments. That's not broken per se as the sharding implementor can easily deal with this, but in our IdHashShardingStrategy we don't consider this, so we could at least improve the example. I'm wondering why we don't use #getDirectoryProvidersForAllShards() likely to give more flexibility to implementors; in that case I guess that because PurgeAll was introduced after sharding, it was not an option to create a method getDirectoryProvidersForPurgeAll(Class<?> entity) shall we add this one? Alternatively I think we should either fix the example or use the "all" strategy. Cheers, Sanne
