[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HHH-3586) SequenceHiLoGenerator generates values ahead of the actual sequence

[ http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-3586?page=c... ] Krasimir Chobantonov commented on HHH-3586: ------------------------------------------- I do not see why we can't change the multiplication to addition - also the long type is not limitless.. when you add those three variables : number of machines in the cluster, number of rollbacks, number of entities - you can see that with this approach we will go much sooner to the end limit of long than if we are using the addition (+) also the problem here is that if you have external system that is adding/inserting rows using the same sequence then the whole thing might not work - e.g. no one will expect that when you have step 50 for example that some program/software will insert rows with greater id that the current sequence.... - so from this point at least this seems as a bug to me. ( do not try to look only from the perspective that the Hibernate is the only tool that is beeing used when accessing the database - there are triggers, ETL process and etc.. as well) Krasimir -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/secure/Administrators.... - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
