> For certain requirements it would be good to have a notion/support to deduce query shape [1]
> {quote}
>  A combination of query predicate, sort, and projection specifications.
>  For the query predicate, only the structure of the predicate, including the field names, are significant; the values in the query predicate are insignificant. As such, a query predicate { type: 'food' } is equivalent to the query predicate { type: 'utensil' } for a query shape.
> {quote}
> So transforming that to Oak the shape should represent a JCR-SQL2 query string which is a canonical representation of actual query ignoring the property restriction values. 
> Example we have 2 queries
> * SELECT   * FROM [app:Asset] AS a WHERE  a.[jcr:content/metadata/status] = 'published'
> * SELECT   * FROM [app:Asset] AS a WHERE  a.[jcr:content/metadata/status] = 'disabled'
> The query shape would be 
> SELECT * FROM [app:Asset] AS a WHERE  a.[jcr:content/metadata/status] = 'A'. The plan for query having given shape would remain same irrespective of value of property restrictions
> The shape can then be used for
> * Stats Collection - Currently stats collection gets overflown if same query with different value gets invoked
> * Allow configuring hints - See support in Mongo [2] for an example. One specify via config that for a query of such and such shape this index should be used
> * Less noisy diagnostics - If a query gets invoked with bad plan the QE can log the warning once instead of logging it for each query invocation involving different values.
