[hibernate-dev] meaning of shared-cache-mode default to Hibernate...

[Scott Marlow]

The JPA specification allows us to choose what happens when 
shared-cache-mode is not specified (JPA 2.0 3.7.1 specification).

Hibernate currently (as best as I can tell), defaults to 
shared-cache-mode of NONE.

Should we change the shared-cache-mode default to ENABLE_SELECTIVE in 
Hibernate 4.0?  That would mean one less configuration step for 
application developers.

Is there any negatives for changing shared-cache-mode to ENABLE_SELECTIVE?
