Welcome to the lambda2sql wiki!
Example using Hazelcast distributed map.
Here we build and run a distributed query using a lambda. The query is checked at compile time and it's quite readable as well!
public static void main( String[] args ) { Lambda2Sql.init(); HazelcastInstance hz = Hazelcast.newHazelcastInstance(); IMap<Integer, Employee> map = hz.getMap("employees"); putData(map); Collection<Employee> vals; // run the query vals = values(map, e -> e.isActive() && e.getAge() > 30 ); System.out.println(vals.size()); } static <T> Collection<T> values(IMap<?, T> map, java.util.function.Predicate<T> p) { return map.values( toSqlPred(p) ); } static <T> Predicate<?, T> toSqlPred(java.util.function.Predicate<T> p) { return new SqlPredicate( Lambda2Sql.toSql( p ) ); } static void putData(IMap<Integer, Employee> map) { map.put(1, new Employee("alice", 30, true, 100)); map.put(2, new Employee("bob", 40, true, 200)); }
