    [ http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-2896?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=45119#comment-45119 ] 

Steve Ebersole commented on HHH-2896:
-------------------------------------

Contemplating an additional distinction in this API to make it easier for the cases with a simple natural-id versus a compound one by splitting {{org.hibernate.NaturalIdLoadAccess}} up into 2 separate interfaces:

{code:title=SimpleNaturalIdLoadAccess.java|borderStyle=solid}
public interface SimpleNaturalIdLoadAccess {
    public SimpleNaturalIdLoadAccess with(LockOptions lockOptions);
    public Object getReference(Object naturalIdValue);
    public Object load(Object naturalIdValue);
}
{code}

{code:title=CompoundNaturalIdLoadAccess.java|borderStyle=solid}
public interface CompoundNaturalIdLoadAccess {
    public CompoundNaturalIdLoadAccess with(LockOptions lockOptions);
    public CompoundNaturalIdLoadAccess using(String attributeName, Object value);
    public Object getReference();
    public Object load();
}
{code}
