Hardy Ferentschik commented on HV-588:
--------------------------------------

I was thinking about the case w/ several hundreds of entities. There you could safe initialization time and you might not even have to cache anything. Of course having a "constant" for non constraints like you suggest in HV-589 is more important.

> We could offer a marker annotation for entities (and maybe package level) to mark entities which should be excluded from validation (eg don't have any constraints). This can reduce metadata processing time and it can also reduce the memory consumption (even if an entity does not contain constraints it will be in the metadata cache).
