Subselect not used when batch loading by id in Hibernate

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • An entity class is batch enabled and is using SUBSELECT fetch.

    @Entity
    @BatchSize(size = 1000)
    public class EmployeeGroupSubselect {
        ...
        @OneToMany(cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
        @Fetch(FetchMode.SUBSELECT)
        private List<Employee> employees = new ArrayList<Employee>();
        ....
    }
    
  • When fetching a set of entities and their associations, subselect is not used to fetch the associations.

  • For each entity, a separate query is issue to fetch the association

    select
        employees0_.EmployeeGroupSubselect_departmentName as Employee1_3_0_,
        employees0_.EmployeeGroupSubselect_groupName as Employee2_3_0_,
        employees0_.employees_id as employee3_3_0_,
        employee1_.id as id1_1_1_,
        employee1_.name as name2_1_1_ 
    from
        EmployeeGroupSubselect_Employee employees0_ 
    inner join
        Employee employee1_ 
            on employees0_.employees_id=employee1_.id 
    where
        employees0_.EmployeeGroupSubselect_departmentName=? 
        and employees0_.EmployeeGroupSubselect_groupName=?
