Hello,
Solutions:
a: No, do not keep None values in the catalog
the current implementation works like this
you are unable to ask the catalog for objects having None
properties
b: Yes, keep None values in the catalog
you can ask the catalog for objects having None properties
c: Let's keep the existing one that does not index None and have an
AttributeIndexAlsoNone class which will index None values
Did you see my reply in the other thread?
If you make indexes keep track of None, it will need to be done in a
separate data structure because of the key homogeneity issues. This
is a less efficient approach than the zc.catalog approach. It can be
done either way.
I recommend that you use zc.catalog, rather than reinventing
something that solves your problem.
I suppose I don't care much, since we don't use the standard zope
value and keyword indexes anyway; if you must add the None feature,
then I only care, from a "let's not screw up our community software"
perspective, that it be implemented in a safe way. Keep your BTree
keys homogenous.
