Re: [hibernate-dev] Correlating Java 1.8 Streams and ScrollableResults with database cursors

Hi Vlad, I'm not sure if we should set the fetch size automatically, especially not globally. Could we not use the API wisely to encourage people to provide an estimate of a reasonable size, which will be different on each query? I'm aware that MySQL requires this strange value to avoid pre-loading it all in memory; in fact for example in Hibernate Search the "mass index rebuild" has to scroll on the whole dataset, so the documentation recommends to set the fetch size.. However in some cases the optimisation might make sense; for example if the resultset is small, why would you use pagination when you can load it all in one single roundtrip? On the other hand, if you all think Hibernate should be able to figure this out automatically, then maybe I should also change Search to automatically set MIN_VALUE when running on MySQL, etc..
