You mean the Lucene query language -
http://lucene.apache.org/core/old_versioned_docs/versions/3_4_0/querypars...
;-)
In the end it comes down to that.
What would the purpose of a new query language be? I guess it would be more object
centric, but is this relevant for a user?
This would allow for a conciser syntax, making it easier to write
(that's
why I asked who would be writing such queries), but probably it'd be more
work to create such a language. I guess a sub-set of JPQL would work for
some parts, but additional elements would be needed for facets etc.
I just don't see users of a finished app being exposed to such query functionality.
I see the JSON representation just as a way to serialise the query. To which means I am
not sure at the moment.
