Add a hasChildren() (or equivalent) method to the Node interface
----------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBCACHE-1492
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBCACHE-1492
             Project: JBoss Cache
          Issue Type: Feature Request
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
            Reporter: Nathan Messer
            Assignee: Manik Surtani
             Fix For: 3.1.0.GA


We would like to request a hasChildren() (or some equivalent) method on the Node interface to establish if a node has children.

The NodeSPI interface already has a hasChildrenDirect() method, which is the functionality we are looking for.

The main reason for wanting a hasChildren() method, rather than just getting the children, or the children names, and checking the length is performance.
