Allow `StringQuery` or `CriteriaQuery` to be added as query into a `NativeQuery`.

This would allow the easy way to build the query and then add additional things that are only available in the NativeQuery like aggregations.

Hello,
I currently build complex queries that mix several filters and aggregations. Some of the filters can be built with the Criteria api; and some of them can be built only with NativeQuery (complex geoshape filter, and aggregations).
The only way i found to mix both of them il to copy the private class CriteriaQueryProcessor, to call the createQuery(Criteria criteria) method.

Is it possible to change the visibility of the CriteraQueryProcessor; and, maybe, add a createQuery( criteriaQuery) method?

Thank you for any help about this issue

This is what this issue is about, being able to add a CriteriaQuery (or a StringQuery for example) as query to a NativeQuery.
