Description libing wang CLA 2012-09-06 14:19:30 EDT 
Currently, explorer.createTree is the only API we are using to render all the model items in one shot.
But for use cases that need longer time to build up the explorer model, we may want kind of incremental rendering mechanism to render during progress.
Comparing any two folders is an example.
I am rendering the compare result in a flat explorer model while the compare is still going. I have to call the .createTree function multiple times but every time it just renders everything in the model. It seems OK visually but I think we need a better API so that we can see the real incremental rendering.

moving out of 1.0, even if I did this I don't see us having time to adopt the changes.
Comment 2 Susan McCourt CLA 2012-10-04 10:53:46 EDT 
moving milestone to 2.0 M1 for future triage.
Comment 3 Susan McCourt CLA 2013-03-15 12:07:36 EDT 
Agree.  The original idea was to not put anything in the DOM until it's ready to go, so that there isn't a lot of DOM manipulation/ripple going. But for complex trees, it takes too long, and we might want to add to the DOM in blocks...

It turns out that our find reference tooling feature needs this badly for search panel.
