Julian Reschke commented on JCR-1166:
-------------------------------------
But that would still require to completely iterate through what the SPI
implementation returned, right?
I would really prefer if we could avoid iterating through the children if all
the caller wants to know is their number.
> JCR2SPI does not provide actual size on RangeIterator.getSize()

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-1166
> Project: Jackrabbit
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: jackrabbit-jcr2spi
> Reporter: Julian Reschke

> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.4

> Attachments: JCR-1166.patch

> 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.
