Ability to perform querys against cache --------------------------------------- Key: HHH-999 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-999 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: New Feature Environment: All Reporter: stephane f I would be very usefull to perform some hibernate Querys on the Cache first. If we perform the following Query : ´ Select param where param .validFrom > new Date() and param .validTo < new Date() Hibernate could put the result in the Cache and in the next Query , the Query could be excecuted against the Cache First, and then against the Db. this could bring performance enhancement in a lot of projects. It could be extremly useful for Mappings marked as 'immutable'
