[jira] [Commented] (COMMONSRDF-22) Rename getTriples/iterate to getTriplesAsStream/getTriplesAsIterable ?

["Andy Seaborne (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMMONSRDF-22?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14532253#comment-14532253 ] 

Andy Seaborne commented on COMMONSRDF-22:
-----------------------------------------

It's a trade off on long names vs favouring the preferred forms.

IF we are going to have {{iterate()}}, then I think streams is still preferred in Java8 and so {{getTriples}} should remain the name.
