+ * A QueryResult is a list of key-value pairs that has been generated as a result of a `Query`.

+ * The keys are tags (e.g. `myTag`) that correspond to a `CloudObject` (e.g. `myCloudObject`).
+ * When the {@link Query} contains more than one {@link Query.andReturn Query.andReturn()} clause,
+ * keys are composite tags (e.g. `'tag1.tag2.tag3'`) and values are tuples of `CloudObjects` (e.g. `[cloudObj1, cloudObj2, cloudObj3]`).
+ * Such a QueryResult can be obtained via:
+ * ```javascript
+ * Query.instancesOf(myModel1).andReturn.follow(myRelation1).andReturn.follow(myRelation2).andReturn().execute().
+ * ```
+ *
+ * When a query is subscribed, the returned observable generates multiple QueryResults over time.

+/**
+ * A Query is an immutable object used to build queries on the datacloud. It is a graph query builder.
+ * It starts from an `origin` InstanceOrTag (typically, the `InstanceOrTag` of a data type or of an instance).
+ * From there, it can follow relations between data types and filter results.
+ *
+ * Example:
+ *
+ *  `origin --a--> X --b--> Y --c--> Z`
+ *
+ * Example:
+ *
+ * ```javascript
+ *  Query.from(origin)
+ *      .follow(a)
+ *      .execute();
+ * ```
+ *  This will return a Promise of a QueryResult whose values are of type X: `Promise<QueryResult<X>>`.
+ *
+ * A query defines a starting working set of nodes and operations that will mutate it.
+ * From our example,the working set is first the `origin` graph node. Then the `follow`
+ * operations create a new working set only containing the nodes related to the origin through relation *`a`*.
+ *
+ * Multiple relations can be followed at once to create the equivalent of JOIN operations in relational databases.
+ * ```javascript
+ *  Query.from(origin)
+ *      .follow(a).andReturn()
+ *      .follow(b)
+ *      .follow(c).andReturn()
+ *      .execute();
+ * ```
+ * The next operation defines a working set containing the nodes related
+ * through relation *`b`* to nodes that are related through relation *`a`* to the origin.
+ * A similar operation is defined for relation `c`.
+ * At each level, "andReturn()" method can be called to add the current level to the result.
+ * This will return a Promise of a QueryResult whose values are of type [X, Z]: `Promise<QueryResult<[X, Z]>>`.
+ *
+ * Out of the 4 working sets created, only the second and fourth are flagged to be returned and part of the result.
+ * But the operations in the middle impact this result: e.g.,
+ * all returned tuples (t1, t2) are object that have an intermediate `i` of type Y.
+ * such that `t1 --b-> i --c-> t2` but the `i` was not flagged to be returned.
+ *
+ * Queries define a path from a starting point following a specific list of relations.
+ * As explained with our example, only nodes part of a full path can be returned.
+ *
+ *
+ * A query can be executed with 3 different ways:
+ * - execute(): it runs the query on the datacloud and return the result as a QueryResult.
+ * - observe(): it runs the query on the datacloud and subscribes to updates. It returns an Observable which provides a new QueryResult every time the result changes.
+ * - executeFromCache(): it runs the query on the *local* datacloud which may be incomplete view of the datacloud (it is the local cache). It is executed synchronously.
