Part of the functional map experiment was to show with a subset of commands, all sorts of front end operations could be exposed. So, I'm on Radim's side on this. By passing functions/lambdas, we get a lot of flexibility with very little cost.

I used something like a sealed trait for implementing a more flexible flag system for functional map API called org.infinispan.commons.api.functional.Param Do I understand correctly that you're suggesting to add a enum to ReadWriteKeyValueCommand that will say "behave like eval (current)/compute*/merge"? How is that different from just wrapping the 'user function' into adapting function (with registered externalizer == marshalling to just 1-2 bytes)? Handling such enum in interceptors is not better that having additional visitX method. And not handling that does not allow you to apply optimizations which Katia has named as reason #1 to have the separate commands.

IMO, working with generic commands that take lambdas is a way to strike a balance between adding front-end operations quickly and not resulting in a huge explosion of commands. So your final verdict is -1 to separate commands?

R. PS: besides DRY, I vote for the use of functional commands is that it would encourage us to fix the rest of the parts that might not be working properly - e.g. QueryInterceptor was not updated with the functional stuff (but QI is broken in more ways [1]) [1] https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-7806 > > Cheers, > -- > Galder Zamarreño > Infinispan, Red Hat > >> On 20 Apr 2017, at 16:06, Katia Aresti <karesti(a)redhat.com&gt; wrote: >> >> Hi all >> >> Well, nobody spoke, so I consider that everybody agrees that I can take a decision like a big girl by myself ! :) >> >> I'm going to add 3 new commands, for merge, compute&computeIfPresent and computeIfAbsent.
