Proposal:
There are two ways of reading manageable entities in this specification: READ and READALL. The READ operation accesses a single entity and the READALL operation accesses all of the entities.
It would be practical to have a way to access all of the entities of a particular type. This is a very common use case in management scenarios. Furthermore, READALL is likely to involve a very large number of entities in any realistic situation.
As an implementer, I would prefer to use operations that fetch data about entities of a particular type (either the whole table or just the names).
Please note that this issue is related to AMQP-88.
