-1 These can't be simply copied, because two modules cannot share a
package name (org.infinispan.util), therefore we would have to
move the
SerializableFunction to org.infinispan.commons.util.function.
I never said they had to be on the same package :-P
But as you
say; we can't/don't want to support lambdas in any remote client
operations and therefore these would be superfluous in commons.
We have to think about a pattern for the building-blocks (counters,
locks, multimaps...): in embedded case we want to expose API using
lambdas, in remote client this should be named filter, script or Ickle
query. Obvious solution is having BaseFeature -> EmbeddedFeature,
RemoteFeature that would expose the functional operations
symmetrically
but with different API, but it seems to me a bit inelegant.
This is always our problem, we never have a solution and then client
API falls behind.
Speaking about clients falling behind, do we have the remote counters
somewhere on the roadmap? I think that OGM's need of sequences was one
of the primary motivations, but OGM is now focusing more on the Hot Rod
integration.
Also even though we wouldn't serialize lambdas with client, doesn't
mean we can't use lambdas with the client. Just means the operation
would have slower performance, since it would be evaluated in the client.
That defies the point completely. I wouldn't trick the user into
thinking that the operation happens in place unless we have a plan to
fix that **soon**.
I personally welcome the BaseFeature you mentioned because we need
that asap so that we can create these API while maintaining some type
of semblance between them.
Note that embedded/remote building blocks will have different
properties/behaviour anyway - e.g. for embedded it could be useful to
execute an action once the 'owning node' crashes (e.g. release a lock)
while it does not make much sense with remote client.
