> I'm a little worried about giving up functionality, but I think if we had a list of parent-fields rather than a single parent-field that would cover what we can do today? Maybe one is enough - you can still do hierarchies with one field, but today's API actually let's you define multiple overlapping relations. I don't think we give up any functionality. can you elaborate what functionality you are referring to? I don't think we should have a list of parent fields that IW requires, what would that list be used for? I also don't understand how the APU lets you define overlapping relations that this change would prevent you from? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
