Re: [Discuss] Building objects with the Factory pattern or the Builder pattern. Adding the fluent model?

I don't think we currently have any design directions or architectural rules for Geode documented yet other than for GFSH. As we refactor code, we really should be following some sort of overall design guidelines. +1 for documenting (on the wiki) and promoting fluent style APIs in our design

Re: [Discuss] Building objects with the Factory pattern or the Builder pattern. Adding the fluent model?

For me there is only one real challenge, not an objection as I like builder and fluent models as well, but there is an added challenge of debugging. it can effectively combine 5 lines into one, which means it is *slightly* more annoying to debug, and the fact that return values go away, but for a

Re: [Discuss] Building objects with the Factory pattern or the Builder pattern. Adding the fluent model?

I really like the Fluent pattern as it is done in C# and Java... I'm not sure the juice is worth the squeeze in an existing c++ library. I do agree we should normalize our factory/builder patterns. On Wed, Sep 6, 2017 at 12:28 PM, Jacob Barrett wrote: > Mark, > > I

Re: [Discuss] Building objects with the Factory pattern or the Builder pattern. Adding the fluent model?

Mark, I believe the real issue is that we use multiple patterns and should be converging on one pattern. We have examples of both Factory and Builder models and both with and without Fluent pattern. If the Java API is tending towards Builder model with Fluent pattern then I am for that as long

Re: [Discuss] Building objects with the Factory pattern or the Builder pattern. Adding the fluent model?

In the geode java apis you would create a CacheFactory (or ClientCacheFactory), configure it fluently, and then call create at the end. So even though we call them factories in the geode java apis, they use the Builder pattern and also support the fluent model in that you could do this:

[Discuss] Building objects with the Factory pattern or the Builder pattern. Adding the fluent model?

Problem: To fluent and builder model or not to fluent and builder model In the native client we use the factory model of generating objects, we are wondering if a move to the fluent model and the builder pattern would be better. Background: In designing the various types of allocators
