Problem: Min/Max queries are global to the attribute
At this moment, Min/Max queries are limited to finding the smallest or largest value of a particular attribute globally across an entity. Which means you can tell "what's the latest order" but not "what's the latest order for this person". IsLatestEntity/LatestAssociatedEntryQuery are currently being used to address this type of need, but they are very slow and cumbersome. Min/Max has been already optimized for PostgreSQL storage.
It would have been great if it was possible to fit this type query within Min/Max as an option:
// Find the last order for user with id=<id>
max(Order.TIMESTAMP, equal(Order.USER_ID, id))
// Find all last orders for all users
max(Order.TIMESTAMP, Order.USER_ID)
(Or something similar)
