> "QueryNode(s) are data objects, and it makes sense to override
> their equals method. But before, we need to define what is a QueryNode
> equality. Should two nodes be considered equal if they represent
> syntactically or semantically the same query? e.g. an ORQueryNode created
> from the query <a OR b OR c> will not have the same children ordering as the
> query <b OR c OR a>, so they are syntactically not equal, but they are
> semantically equal, because the order of the OR operands (usually) does not
> matter when the query is executed. I say it usually does not matter, because
> it's up to the Query object implementation built from that ORQueryNode
> object, for this reason, I vote for defining that two query nodes should be
> equals if they are syntactically equal.
> I also vote for excluding query node tags from the equality check, because
> they are not meant to represent the query structure, but to attach extra
> info to the node, which is usually used for communication between
> processors."
