Julian Reschke commented on JCR-1239:
-------------------------------------
That's not the use case.
The use case is to be able to display the number of members in a collection
without having to iterate through them.
JCR provides that ability (RangeIterator), but SPI doesn't (Iterator). I think
that's a problem.
> SPI: Return value of RepositoryService.getChildInfos

> Fix For: 1.4

>
> 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).
