In file: org.hibernate.envers.query.impl.RevisionsOfEntityQuery

we have the following line:
Object entity = entityInstantiator.createInstanceFromVersionsEntity(entityName, versionsEntity, revision);

Is there any possibility to search for RevisionsOfEntity query without fetching actual entities? (by fetching only RevisionsData object - which are available in revisionData = arrayResultRow[1]).

I'm using custom Revision object with all required info. Currently when envers fetches entities it generates a lot of queries which results are not used.

Maybe you could introduce another parameter to return List<Object> queryResult = buildAndExecuteQuery();

Right now we check following condition:
List<Object> queryResult = buildAndExecuteQuery();
if (hasProjection) { return queryResult; } else { ....}

Maybe we can change it to :

List<Object> queryResult = buildAndExecuteQuery();
if (hasProjection || returnRawResponse) { return queryResult; } }

and introduce returnRawResponse parameter, should be sufficient. Since REvisionData is present in queryResult at position nr 1.
