... for certain values of "our". I think that it's important that we
discuss API decisions as a group, as they have significant impacts on
the OpenJPA product moving forward. This is especially important when
there are dissenting views on a particular API decision, as is the case
here.

Currently, most of the precedent in OpenJPA is to use OpenJPA-specific
APIs, rather than untyped strings, whenever possible for fetch
configuration and behavior. See the APIs for controlling the fetch batch
size, or the lock level, or the maximum fetch depth. Personally, I much
prefer that model of operation, since it provides strong typing where
vendor-specific extensions are used, and thus raises the awareness of
developers that they are using a proprietary feature. Using string
key-value pairs is notoriously error-prone and difficult to refactor,
and in my opinion detracts from the usability of the API.

Again, I don't think that 'hint' is really the right word for describing
lock and isolation levels.

We could also create new annotations to describe the lock levels and
isolation settings needed for the named queries; we do not need to
constrain ourselves to what is available in the JPA annotations / XML.
This will mean a bit more work on our part, but I think that we should
figure out what the right decision is for our users, and work from
there, rather than just doing whatever fits into what the JPA spec
provides API-wise.

Similarly, these facilities seem useful for regular EM.find() calls; one
of the nice things about the FetchPlan is that an EM has a FetchPlan and
a Query has one, so similar fetching configurations can be implemented
in a common manner.

Thoughts?
