Well… now the metadata is in the session factory; it’s stored in the SchemaManager , which allows creating/dropping the schema at runtime: https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-orm/blob/ed956d514a74417125b141d55... ( https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-orm/blob/ed956d514a74417125b141d55... ) I thought we didn’t want to keep the metadata around at runtime, because it’s huge and leads to increased memory consumption? I thought we wanted that stuff garbage-collected ASAP? It’s probably also a problem when compiling to native as having those classes around will lead to many more classes/methods being included in executables… Though maybe that’s only a problem if there is actually code that uses the SchemaManager. Sanne Grinovero ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?accountId=557058%... ) any opinion on this? Did you detect increased memory usage or higher native binary size in your benchmarks?
