Abe White commented on OPENJPA-168:
-----------------------------------

Comments on the proposed patch:

- I don't like the whole scheme of setting the expected result count to -1 for 
anything "artificial".  It's confusing and unnecessary.  Just set it to the 
number of expected "primary" results, and the DBDictionary can invoke 
sel.hasEagerJoin(true) to figure out if the expected count can be used.  Or 
just have the getter for the expected count always return 0 if there is an 
eager to-many join (or better yet, turn -1 into a value meaning "unknown" and 
have it return -1, which would then also be the default when no expected count 
is set).  

- I still think there should be a way to get rid of Union.is/setSingleResult by 
moving the expected result property to SelectExecutor -- which both Select and 
Union extend -- and taking advantage of the new expected result ("1" obviously 
indicates a single result).  

- If you're going to validate the value of the user-supplied hint in the JPA 
QueryImpl, you might as well transform it into a Number at that point before 
setting it into the FetchConfiguration.  Also, I'd accept any Number, not just 
an Integer (technically we should accept any whole number, but that's a pain to 
implement).  Then in the JDBC layer, you can just cast the hint value directly 
to a Number and forgo validating it and checking for String values a second 
time.

- DB2 really cares whether you use "optimize for 1 row" vs. "optimize for 1 
rows"?  That's ugly.

- We should probably generalize the configuration of row optimization to the 
base DBDictionary with an override mechanism.

- If you're going to invoke setUnique(true) on the underlying query from the 
JPA QueryImpl's getSingleResult, you need to do three things:
  1. Unset it in a finally clause, because the very next call might be to 
getResultList, and in general getSingleResult shouldn't have stateful side 
effects.
  2. Change the kernel's QueryImpl to throw an exception when unique is set but 
the query doesn't return any results.  Right now it allows 0 results and will 
return null, which is indistinguishable from a projection on a null field that 
returned 1 result.
  3. Get rid of the code immediately following in getSingleResult that extracts 
the value if a List is returned, because after setting the unique flag on the 
underlying query, it will never return a List.  

- The hint key should be a constant in the kernel's Query interface or 
somewhere like that.

> There werre various comments from Patrick, Abe and Kevin Sutter about the 
> code that I checked related to Optimize hint.  So I have gone back and 
> relooked at this and wil be making some changes.  At Kevin's suggestion I 
> will do this through a JIRA feature so that folks will have opportunity to 
> comment on this before the code is actually done and checked in.
