> *Problem:* It's easy to run into performance problems with queries that are
> not backed by an index or miss the right one. Developers writing these
> queries typically do not have the real large production data, and thus don't
> see that a query would scale badly, and would not see any traversal warnings,
> as these only happen with a large number of results.
> *Proposal:* Oak's query engine already calculates a cost estimate to make a
> decision which index to use, or even if there is any at all. This cost
> estimate could be used to find out if a query is not supported by an index or
> with one that is not suitable enough (e.g. ordering by property that is not
> indexed)
> If a query is above a certain cost value, a big warning could be put out or
> even the query could be made to fail (maybe a per query option, that you
> might want to have to "fail" by default to ensure people are not overlooking
> the problem). The cost limit should be configurable, as it might depend on
> the hardware power.
