Entity
A query to a RecordStorage for the records matching the given parameters.
Acts like a DTO between the repository and the RecordStorage.
The query contains the acceptable values of the record IDs and the entity columns.
A storage may ignore the query or throw an exception if it's specified. By default, RecordStorage supports the Entity queries.
If the accepted IDs set is empty, all the IDs are considered to be queried.
Empty query parameters are not considered when the actual data query is performed as well as the parameters which have no accepted values.
If the Column specified in the query is absent in a record, the record is considered not matching.
If both the accepted IDs set and query parameters are empty, all the records are considered matching.
If the query specifies the values of the Entity lifecycle Columns, then the default behavior will be overridden meaning that the records resulting to such query may active or inactive.
Parameters
the type of the IDs of the query target
