[MSHARED-767] Incremental should result in Stream

[jira-importer]

Robert Scholte opened MSHARED-767 and commented

The current implementation is inefficient, it does a complete scan of the sourcefolder(s) whereas in general knowing the first change is already sufficient.
The Java 8 StreamAPI can help here.

The result should be a Stream of Resources(?) containing the filereference and a status (added, removed, changed). It must be possible to support localResources (where input and output can be compared) and remoteResources (where metadata must be stored to know if it has been changed). Filtering can be done by the consumer of the stream.

This is a good idea. We actually need to overhaul all of our API with Java 7 and 8 features, but this will take years...

We need to start somewhere, this one looks like a nice one to start with.
