The annotation allows to execute N1QL queries that are provided inline. For ease of use, one can use the placeholder $SELECT_ENTITY$ instead of writing the SELECT and FROM clauses.
QueryParams passed in as a method parameter will be used to enrich the Query. Other parameters on the annotated method will be used as values for positional placeholders in the statement.
The template's findByN1QL now expect enough data to reconstruct the full CouchbaseDocument (including ID and CAS), the ad hoc version of it has been renamed findByN1QLProjection.
