Hi,

I have a performance issue when it comes to initializing object having  
relationship referring to abstract entity. My model is like:
- non-abstract entity "Referring" which foreign key "referredId" and  
relationship on it, pointing to Referred.referredId
- abstract entity "Referred" with primary key "referredId" and a field  
named "type"
- non-abstract entity "ReferredA" extending "Referred". There's type  
qualifier on field "type"
- non-abstract entity "ReferredB" extending "Referred". There's type  
qualifier on field "type"
- non-abstract entity "ReferredC" extending "Referred". There's type  
qualifier on field "type"

When I fetch a bunch of Referring (let's say 70 rows) then I see in  
logs "70 row(s) processed" but right after it in logs, while still in  
the same EOEditingContext#objectsWithFetchSpecification 
(EOFetchSpecification), it does 70 more fetches, where each of them is  
like:
"... expression took XX ms: SELECT ... FROM Referred WHERE ... AND  
referredId = <some concrete id>
fetch cancelled
1 row(s) processed"

So in total it does 71 database roundtrips. It looks like it fetches  
full objects for Referring.referred relationship instead of just  
creating fault. I believe it's because relationship points to abstract  
entity and having only referredId from Referring, still doesn't  
specify final entity for target object. So I think what EOF does it  
fetches full target object, to check value for field "type" to fully  
determine target entity.

Do you know if and how can I avoid this resource consuming routine?
