CrawlableDatasetFilter (legacy 5.5.3 API)

All Known Implementing Classes:

LastModifiedLimitFilter, MultiSelectorFilter, RegExpMatchOnNameFilter, RegExpMatchOnPathFilter, WildcardMatchOnNameFilter, WildcardMatchOnPathFilter
```
public interface CrawlableDatasetFilter
```
A filter for CrawlableDatasets.
Instances of this interface may be passed to the CrawlableDataset.listDatasets(CrawlableDatasetFilter) method of the CrawlableDataset class.
Implementation note: The TDS framework (InvDatasetScan, etc) uses a public constructor with a single configuration Object argument to instantiate instances of a CrawlableDatasetFilter. If your implementation will not be used in the TDS framework, other constructors can be used.
