[Yanel-dev] [Yarep] Refactoring indexing of properties

[Michael Wechner]

Hi

I am currently trying to improve the indexing of properties.

First of all I wanted to ask why we introduced a method

index(Node, Property)

instead

index(Node, String propertyName)

?

The reason I am asking is because one can get the property directly from 
the Node via Node.getProperty(propertyName),
whereas the method index(Node, Property) might seduce to index a 
property which has no connection with the Node itself.

Hence I would like to change this API, whereas it would break backwards 
compatibility, but AFAIK this method is not used except within Yarep 
itself so far.

Also I think it would make sense maybe to introduce a method called

indexProperties(Node), because in many usecases the properties are 
updated concurrently (and also peformance might have some advantages) 
and this might simplify the indexing process, but I am not so sure 
either if this is a good idea.

WDYT?

Thanks

Michi
