The latest version of the Java SDK, 2.3.3, introduces a new feature called RawQueryExecutor, which allows users to directly obtain the result of a N1QL or FTS query as a JSON String or JsonObject, akin to using the REST API, without the need for additional mapping. This feature is particularly beneficial for N1QL queries, as it enables users to specify exactly what they need via the SELECT clause, enhancing efficiency when used with appropriate covering indexes. The SDK provides both asynchronous and synchronous code examples for using RawQueryExecutor, highlighting its capability to simplify the process by passing query results directly to clients. The developers encourage feedback on the utility of this feature and whether users would like to see similar functionalities for simpler operations.
