Marshall Schor commented on UIMA-1524:
--------------------------------------
In addition to splititerators (which I think of as lower level, not widely
known / used, etc.), a good API for indexes in Java 8 would be "streams", which
could:
* use splititerators underneath, but hide their complexity
* allow parallelism (might be useful in some case, often it is not)
* are more "mainline" for end-users as an API (in Java 8 and beyond) than
splititerators
The performance downside of streams (there seems to be some, for Java 8, versus
plain simple iterators), can be avoided in those cases where it's important, by
using splititerators directly.
> JFSIndexRepository should be enhanced with new generic methods
