T3rm1 ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?accountId=557058%... ) *updated* an issue Hibernate ORM ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiYTMzMTkzZjNi... ) / Bug ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-16186?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiYTMzMT... ) HHH-16186 ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-16186?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiYTMzMT... ) Duplicate entries in OneToMany relation after manual eagerly loading of entries ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-16186?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiYTMzMT... ) Change By: T3rm1 ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?accountId=557058%... ) I’m not sure if the title fits. I had trouble finding a good one. This bug leads to multiple duplicates appear in the list of a {{OneToMany}} relation that was initialized manually in order to prevent N+1 query problem. There are three entities, {{A}}, {{B}} and {{C}}. {{A <-1--1-> B}} {{B <-1--N-> C}} A has one B, B has multiple C. Loading is configured as lazy. *Given situation*: I have 4 {{A}}which all point to the same {{B}}. This {{B}}has two {{C}}. So if I do {{a.getB().getCList()}}the size should be 2. This works out of the box with lazy loading. However, if I add the following query, in order to load all {{C}}into the cache and a prevent N+1 query problem, then suddenly each {{B}}has *eight* entries of {{C}}. { noformat code:java }List<A> resultNotNeeded = entityManager.createQuery(""" select distinct a from A a join fetch a.b b left join fetch b.cList where a in (:aList) """, A.class) .setParameter("aList", aList) .setHint(org.hibernate.jpa.QueryHints.HINT_PASS_DISTINCT_THROUGH, "false") .getResultList();{ noformat code } It doesn’t make a difference if I remove the distinct and query hint. {{aList}}is just the list of the four a entities. A test case is attached.
