Interface QuerySource<T extends QueryConfig>
- All Known Implementing Classes:
 AlarmJournalQuerySource,NamedQuerySource,PrepStmtQuerySource,SimpleSqlQuerySource,TagCalculationQuerySource,TagHistQuerySource
public interface QuerySource<T extends QueryConfig>
 A QuerySource executes a type of report query. It must be registered via the GatewayDataSourceRegistry, and
 also there should be a matching (same ID) QueryConfigFactory registered in the designer.
 
 The QuerySource and QueryConfigFactory share the same string ID, and both deal with the same config object, which
 must be a subclass of QueryConfig.
 
Each query source needs to be able to execute some sort of query which returns a Dataset. Top level queries are treated differently than nested queries. This is to give query sources the chance to do special setup and teardown before and after the execution of a group of equivalent nested queries.

query
Dataset query(ReportExecutionContext execContext, T queryConfig, Map<String, Object> extraConfigs) throws ExceptionExecute a top level query.- Parameters:
 execContext- The context for the report being executed.queryConfig- The config object which was configured in the designer for this query.extraConfigs- Extra configuration data the designer may need to send. Unused by most data sources, because the queryConfig should contain all data needed to execute the query. May be null.- Returns:
 - A dataset of results for executing this query
 - Throws:
 Exception

begin
QuerySource.SubQueryTransaction begin(ReportExecutionContext execContext, T queryConfig, Map<String, Object> extraConfigs, QueryResults parent) throws ExceptionBegin a nested query "transaction". This means that a nested query (defined by a single query config) is about to be executed, and will probably be executed many times.- Parameters:
 execContext- The context for the report being executedqueryConfig- The config object which was configured in designer for this nested query.extraConfigs- Extra configuration data the designer may need to send. Unused by most data sources, because the queryConfig should contain all data needed to execute the query. May be null.parent- The QueryResults object for the parent query of this nested query.- Returns:
 - A new transaction object to handle the execution of this nested query.
 - Throws:
 Exception
