Here's the answer I got:

As for the allocationSize's default, it is 1 using Hibernate. It won't use the HiLo algorithm by default.
Everything is covered at the url above... except why isn't this the default behavior (at least for the JPA impl.)

Hi,
I read the your post on Hibernate forum:
http://lists.jboss.org/pipermail/hibernate-dev/2007-November/002811.html

I was just wondering about the same things you wrote. Have you got any answer?
Moreover, do you know if setting the 'allocationSize' attribute to 1 instead of the default value (50) can give any kind of problem or undesired side effect?

Thanks
Gabriele Salgò
