As we face strong demand from various angles (Querydsl/Query-by-Example/JPA Specifications with projections, pagination queries, GraphQL to define eagerly loaded associations), we want to explore means how to define queries that leverage already existing base technology and are able to provide a certain degree of flexibility known from store-specific API (stream consumption, projections, inclusion/exclusion of properties).
