Re: [Exist-development] new functionality: Execution Pipeline

[Thomas W. <tho...@gm...>]

I do believe, having asynchronous mechanism for fetching data in eXist will
give us foundation for many interesting new ideas.
I will need this functionality in about two months time and I really hope
somebody from the dev team will be interested in implementing the execution
pipeline.

Regards,
Thomas
