Scott Preece commented on FALCON-1095:
--------------------------------------
Perhaps I misunderstand what this does. In IntelliJ, I can find a class named
"HCatPartitionManipulator" by searching for "partman". However, a search for
"parttor" won't find it. [It looks like it understands camel case and is only
searching on prefixes of the capitalized words in the class name.] My
understanding of the description in this JIRA was the equivalent of putting a
"*" after each character in the in a glob, which would match any string that
contained the pattern characters in the given order.
Under that interpretation, matching would get false positives when a character
appeared in the right order, but in an intervening word of the name - like
looking for "parttor" and finding "PathReturningNonstandardFormat", where the
letters happen to appear in the given order, but bear no resemblance to the
expected result. Maybe it doesn't matter - maybe people tend to construct
queries out of prefix strings with longer substrings, for instance.
In any case,there should be a detailed explanation in the documentation...
> 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
> Assignee: 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. We also plan to provide a search UI, similar to Visual Search, to
> allow the user to enter keywords in a search box and display the filtered
> results. The user can click on the entity to view details and search its
> instances as well.
> To support free-text search, we plan to extend the LIST API:
> GET api/entities/list/:entity-type
> Parameters changed/added:
> 1) :entity-type Valid options are cluster, feed, process and all. Here
> "all" represents feeds and processes.
> 2) nameseq Subsequence of entity name. Not case sensitive. Example:
> "Sample1" is a subsequence of entity name "SampleFeed1". Note that we rename
> "pattern" parameter to "nameseq" to make it more intuitive to the user, but
> the functionality is already there in Falcon-914 .
> 3) tagkey Tag keywords, separated by comma. Not case sensitive.
> Results
> Return the total number of entity results and a list of entities.
> e.g. falcon entity -list -nameseq housetexas -tagkey estate
> This should return the entity with name "houseSellTexas" and tags
> "category=realestate".
