Hm, wouldn't that be a security problem?
Couldn't it be better (from a security perspective) if you can only get
this number if you use an admin session or similar?
The query engine currently doesn't have a way to retrieve the size,
without reading the nodes - even for the admin session. Could you create
an (OAK-) issue about this? It could be implemented, but I wonder if we
shouldn't rather implement aggregate functions in the query language:
select count(*) from [nt:base] where ...
That way the query engine knows in advance it doesn't have to read the
nodes at all.
