My users are identified by a “username” property. But for the sake of not having users signing up with multiple accounts, I would like to iterate through all email properties of my user table before registering a user to see if it can find a match and alert so to the user.
How can this be done? And if possible, will it be an extremely slow process? The fastest possible search would be to prefer.

I would run a client-initiated query into the Users table to check if there are any users with the specified email address. So basically a Data Service request for the find() api with the following whereClause:
email = ‘<user email address>’
How do I make the query search through the User table? Since I store these sort of properties to the currently logged in user and not a separate table I’m not sure which “xxx.class” to run through.
When you need to load a collection of objects from the table “XXX”, you use Backendless.Data.of( XXX.class ). If you need to load user objects, then you send your query to Backendless.Data.of( BackendlessUser.class ).
