Actually, another option is just to overwrite B so the key stays the same but the data in it changes.

Thanks! This really a smart way for relations that often changes.
But I wonder if this is the only way?

What if the relation seldom change?
I believe the cost of the indirection will be shown on
the complexity of code and the runtime performance,
if using the "resolution" Entity everywhere.

If you are going to change the relation often you might want to have a
"resolution" Entity in the middle - lets say CurrentB.

A->CurrentB->B

instead of updating every A just update the single CurrentB

Assume I have two class A and B,
which is unidirection unowned many to one relationship. (A * ----> 1
B)
I store the Key of class B inside class A.
The code looks like this, (I am using JPA)

@Entity
public class A {

   @Enumerated
   private Key bKey;
}

@Entity
public class B {
}

Both A and B instance of the same user are under the same entity
group.

When I need to delete B, lets say 'Bx'
any A that associate with 'Bx' is going to change the association to
'By'.

I can do this by query and iterate update with low level API.
However, there might be a huge amount of A,
This will exceed the request time limit.

What's the best solution to solve this problem?
Thanks!!
