Hi Jeff,

I don't see the issue which should be fixed within the cluster layer itself.
The cluster layer *does* allow querying and it provides the same objects in
queries, what we can see on the map (ie. one feature per cluster). This is
exacly the same behaviour as what the other layer provides currently do.
What we are talking about it to make the cluster provider extraordinary in
some way to provide different result sets for the querying and the normal
drawing operations. Doesn't it require a new RFC to establish this
environment in the MapServer codebase? Or can we fix setting the query
object in a consistent way which can be utilized by the cluster provider to
establish this behaviour?


Best regards,

Tamas
