Julian Reschke commented on JCR-1239:
-------------------------------------

I'm happy with anything that makes it possible to optimize it, so a new method 
would work for me. That being said, I'd prefer to use Collection instead of 
Iterator, because it also has the benefit to enable JDK5 based clients to use 
the enhanced for loop.

> separate issue started by julian within issue #1166:
> RepositoryService.getChildInfos is defined to return an Iterator.
> this forces the caller to loop over all entries in order to detect the number 
> of child-nodes.
> currently the hierarchy is populated any way, but that could be a source for 
> future optimization.
> possible solutions:
> - change return value to RangeIterator
> - change return value to Collection (or Set).
