Description
What problem does this solve?
Currently the query engine in formae compounds every item in a query (e.g. id:12345) into a single SQL AND query in the agent. This means you cannot do things like:
- showing the status of multiple commands by id
- extracting a group of resources by id
because the query id:123 id:456 would translate to `WHERE id = '123' AND id = '456'.
This is inconvenient as there are a variety of scenarios in which this type of query would be useful.
Proposed solution
We use a subset of the Bleve query syntax. A Bleve query consists of three list of "items": MUST, SHOULD and SHOULD NOT. In the query syntax these are expressed by a +, - or the absence of those modifiers. formae does support the + modifier yet. Instead, the current implementation treats all query items as MUST (+). Instead we should treat items without the modifier as SHOULD, and start supporting the + modifier.
