Actually, even that could be done by an ad-hoc dialect which would store the full entity graph in one schema / cache and the normal (according to OGM) entity in another schema/cache. The Dialect does not give you the entity graph but since we now know how to batch work, we could apply all changes on the virtual entry about to be persisted. This is essentially what we do in MongoDB’s dialect that we could replicate here.

Also, the POF(s) / Protobuf(s) for a given entity could be defined via the option system at the entity level

    @Entity @UsingSchema(“someSchemaId”)
    public Foo { … }

How to chose one vs the other at query time (via OGM) is what we are the farthest from I suspect.
