Andy Jefferson commented on JDO-405:
------------------------------------

AFAIK the p127 comment is erroneous and is a cut-paste. Only one value is needed for representing "no limit" and this was -1 with "fetch-depth" (before the renaming) and is what 12.7.4 has (and would be consistent with what values maxFetchDepth takes).

I would add that page 129 has an example that uses "fetch-depth" which was removed/renamed, so this needs fixing.

I don't see a reason to change the default we agreed some time back. Default of maxFetchDepth of 1 and recursion-depth of 1 are both consistent with fetching just the immediate objects.

> In page 124: "A value of -1 means that the recursion-depth is not limited by traversing this field."
> In page 127: "A recursion-depth of 0 will fetch the whole graph of instances reachable from this field"
> Is there a difference between these two?
> In addition, I think that -1 / 0 as a default might be better than 1 it terms of performance, because tracking such cycles has some overhead, which we might not want to pay for most fields in which this feature is not needed (and MaxFetchDepth is sufficient).
