[hibernate-dev] merge on new entities

[Sanne Grinovero]

Thanks!
yes we got to that conclusion. The question came from Radim in
Infinispan team attempting to figure out how to squeeze some more
performance from the JPACacheStore from Infinispan.

It's tricky that in Infinipan we don't know if something is a new
entry or an update; I had a highly customized MySQL CacheStore which
used the "INSERT OR UPDATE" statement, a non-standard feature from
that DB which is very useful for this case.

Could be interesting for Hibernate ORM to think of a JPA merge
implementation which could take advantage of such custom extensions?
Requires quite a different Dialect API.
