Live queries and dashboard

[Christopher Orr <chris protactin co uk>]

Hi all,

With beagle now having "live query" support working nicely -- i.e.
matches being added/removed from a result set in real time via
`beagled` -- I've been wondering how this will fit in with the 
development of dashboard?

As dashboard simply waits for each backend to stop processing and return 
its results, it would seem that there is no way to push incremental 
updates to it.   But because beagle never actually finishes performing a 
query, dashboard can never receive any results from it.

So, considering beagle is pretty integral to dashboard, how should this 
be handled?  Should the current backend architecture be altered to allow 
for the updating of results like this... or something less drastic? :)

Regards,
Chris
