Plans for graph traversal and filtering predicates

[rvlasveld]

I was wondering what the plans are around graph traversal and filtering.

Currently we have EntQueries, which allows constructs like user.queryFriends(). We also have first() and last(), to limit the number of results.

To use filtering, it seems that we need to use custom queries in the form of User.loadCustom(), where a string or Clause can be passed.

It's not clear to me what's the best way to combine traversal and filtering. Looking at FB's EntSchema, or other implementations (such as EntGo), there are APIs like the following: user.queryFriends().whereName(predicate.equals("John")).queryHomeTown(), etc.

Are there plans for this type of graph traversal and predicate-based filtering as a single API?

eventually, yes. just hasn't been prioritized
