Yes, please. We have an annotation @Experimental in OGM which we use
for tagging APIs under development.
See https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-10487. I also started a
separate discussion about this on the dev list.
BTW, as an extension to changing SchemaManagementTool another thing I'd
like to add is some hook account for Envers use cases. Specifically the
idea there is to be able to do a few things:
1) perform a selective create/drop. selective in terms of just certain
objects. This may be achievable through the new filter concept, although
we'd at least need a way to identify Envers tables from non-Envers tables.
Think of starting to use Hibernate+Envers on a schema that already exists.
2) perform "actions". This is maybe beyond "schema tooling"; perhaps
it is
more of a SessionFactory boot concept. But one thing Envers misses today
that would be good to add is the ability to "prime" the audit tables.
Meaning, for audited entities that do not have entries in their audit
table, create one. This for sure goes beyond simple SQL statements though.
