-----------------------------
Summary: Context-Specific Arguments for Function Execution API
Key: GEODE-5091
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-5091
Project: Geode
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: functions
Reporter: Gideon
There is no documented/official way to pass context (or filter) specific
arguments into a Function Execution. Users work-around this by creating custom
"filter" objects that double as both filters and arguments, but we should
support this capability in an obvious, official, and documented way. Something
like the following would do the job:
Execution execWithFilterSpecificArgs = setFilteredArguments ( Map <?, IN> );
I'm not sure whether or not it is worth adding a new generic to distinguish
between our current "global" input argument type and a filter-specific input
argument type.
Since we have to explicitly map the arguments to specific filters, there would
be no need to separately invoke withFilter(), although there should be no harm
in doing so first so long as the "?" filter collection is the same in both
invocations.
