Is the idea here that the query will actually be run when Query is
called, or is there just some server-side preparation for it?
just prep I hope - the idea is it will return a query handle for use in
other methods
CountHits (in s query_handle, out i count)
GetHitProperties (in s query_handle, in i offset, in i limit, out
a{sa{sas}} response )
Then these calls would be racy, because the index could change between
calls. I believe you want the query to run on demand, however, because
of the limit passed in.
yes this should run the query
although its actually now:
GetHitProperties ( in s query_handle, in i offset, in i limit, in as
properties, out a{sa{sas}} response )
see page:

note the extra properties field where you pass an array of metadata
field names you want returned
the only thing I dont like is snippets now being a property in the above
- I would want to get these individually and I suspect likewise for Beagle?
Could you define what the a{sa{sas}} map is?
it should probably be a{sv} where s is the uri and v is the variant
holding an array of metadata values for that uri (the order of the
metadata fields will match the fields specified in the properties array)
I think you probably also want an API where you just get a list of URIs;
sometimes that's all you care about. (This is a weakness in the Beagle
API, and one which we're going to be fixing.)
yes definitely - if the properties array above is empty it should just
fetch uri.
