JCR2SPI does not provide actual size on RangeIterator.getSize()
---------------------------------------------------------------
Key: JCR-1166
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-1166
Project: Jackrabbit
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: SPI
Reporter: Julian Reschke
Currently, JCR2SPI always returns -1 on RangeIterator.getSize().
This return value is legal (meaning "unknown"), but may cause clients to simply
iterate through the whole list when what they really want is simply the count.
Use case:
"The use case is to count the number of members of a NT_FOLDER without having
to open up the NT_FOLDER and count all the members (and I assume load them into
memory) "
To make this happen we probably need to move away from simple Iterators on the
SPI level, and put quite some additional work into JCR2SPI.
Feedback appreciated.
