Interface QueryBuilder

All Known Implementing Classes:

ConnectedQueryBuilder

public interface QueryBuilder

Builds up Lucene queries for a given entity type following the fluent API pattern.

The resulting Query can be obtained from the final Termination object of the invocation chain.

If required, the resulting Query instance can be modified or combined with other queries created via this fluent API or via the native Lucene API.
