Ajay Yadava commented on FALCON-1095:
-------------------------------------
API to search for an entity already exists. It will help if you can illustrate
the advantages of your proposal over the existing implementation because It
will be a backward incompatible change to users who will get used to existing
search scheme. From the example you have quoted it doesn't look any different.
+1 for extending it to tags.
> Support free-text search for entities

> Key: FALCON-1095
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FALCON-1095
> Project: Falcon
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Affects Versions: 0.6
> Reporter: Ying Zheng
> Fix For: 0.7
>
>
> When users have hundreds or thousands of entities to manage, they may not
> remember the exact name/tag of the entity. We would like to provide a more
> convenient way for the user to search an entity by providing keywords in name
> and tags. To be more specific, users can filter entities by type (i.e. feed
> and process), regular expression that matches the name, and keywords in tags.
> We plan to add a new API: GET api/entities/search
> Parameters (all optional)
> name Regular expression filter on name (e.g. name=fullname,
> name=department.*). Not case sensitive.
> type Valid options are feed and process.
> tags AND filter on tags, separated by comma. Support substring
> matching so the user doesn’t need to enter the full tag string.
> orderBy Column by which results should be ordered. Default is “name”.
> sortOrder Valid options are "asc" and “desc”. Default is “asc”.
> offset Show results from the offset. Used for pagination. Default
> is 0.
> numResults Number of results to show per request. Used for pagination. Only
> integers > 0 are valid. Default is 10.
> e.g. falcon entity -search -name house.*texas -tags estate
> This should return the entity with name "houseSellTexas" and tags
> "category=realestate".
