[infinispan-dev] range query in Infinispan !!

[Prabhat Jha]

I have not used Infinispan's Query or Map/Reduce functionalities yet 
because of them not being in JDG yet. Yes, we can use those to get what 
I have mentioned. Query should be more straight forward and simpler than 
M/R I think. But Query has dependency on Lucene and I have experienced 
great pain in the past when using Lucene and FileSystem for shared storage.

My perspective is a bit different. I am arguing for a "simpler" solution 
for a problem that I find to be very common. Similar to how in 
Cassandra, you can easily query based on a time range and the order you 
want.
