Nicer than an enum would be an explicit method, e.g. handlePut/handleDelete/handleCreate/handleUpdate, as these would also receive the appropriate param list. Of course this means moving away from the KeyValueFilter to an UpdateFilter (good name, Radim) used only for cluster listeners. 
Will, what would be the overall impact on the API as right now the KeyValueFilter is reused between several components, like the cluster iterator.
