Hibernate could not fetch the SequenceInformation from the database

Question

I have recently updated hibernate in my application to 5.4.4.Final. And now, I have faced with the following exception during deployment.

ERROR [org.hibernate.engine.jdbc.env.internal.JdbcEnvironmentImpl|[STANDBY] ExecuteThread: '5' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default (self-tuning)']

I use the following persistence.xml.

<persistence xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence"
   xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
   xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_2.xsd"
   version="2.2">

        <properties>
            <property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle12cDialect" />
            <property name="hibernate.id.new_generator_mappings" value="true"/>

            <property name="hibernate.cache.use_second_level_cache" value = "true"/>

            <property name="hibernate.bytecode.provider" value="bytebuddy" />
        </properties>
    </persistence-unit>
</persistence>

After further investigation, I found out that the root cause is the following: hibernate uses the SequenceInformation interface for the sequences metadata manipulations

public interface SequenceInformation {
  Long getMinValue();
  Long getMaxValue();
  Long getIncrementValue();
  ...
}

However, my app uses the sequences like the following:

SQL> CREATE SEQUENCE SEQ_TEST START WITH 1 INCREMENT BY 1 NOCYCLE;
SQL> select MIN_VALUE, MAX_VALUE, INCREMENT_BY
from USER_SEQUENCES
where SEQUENCE_NAME = 'SEQ_TEST';

MIN_VALUE MAX_VALUE                    INCREMENT_BY
--------- ---------------------------- ------------
1         9999999999999999999999999999 1

The Long.MAX_VALUE is equal to 9223372036854775807, therefore I got the numeric overflow exception.

So, my questions:

• Is it a bug in hibernate?
• What will be the best way to solve it?

Now I see the following ways:

1. Fix the sequences declarations. It can be quite problematic in my case. And, by the way, it looks strange that hibernate tries to read metadata about all sequences, not only about used in my application.
2. Create custom dialect that will extend Oracle12cDialect and override getQuerySequencesString() and/or getSequenceInformationExtractor().

public class Oracle8iDialect extends Dialect {
  ...
  public String getQuerySequencesString() {
    return "select * from all_sequences";
  }

  public SequenceInformationExtractor getSequenceInformationExtractor() {
    return SequenceInformationExtractorOracleDatabaseImpl.INSTANCE;
  }
}

I can switch SequenceInformationExtractor to SequenceInformationExtractorNoOpImpl.INSTANCE and hibernate will not read sequences metadata. What impact will this decision have? Hibernate tries to validate allocationSize of @SequenceGenerator() by INCREMENT_BY. Are there other reasons?

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

UPDATE: This is HHH-13694

Answer 1

I solved the problem as follows. Created an extension for Oracle12cDialect. Limited the maximum/minimum value of columns to SQL

package ru.mvawork.hibernate;

import org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle12cDialect;

@SuppressWarnings("unused")
public class CustomOracleDialect extends Oracle12cDialect {

    @Override
    public String getQuerySequencesString() {
        return "select SEQUENCE_OWNER, SEQUENCE_NAME, greatest(MIN_VALUE,         -9223372036854775807) MIN_VALUE,\n"+
                "Least(MAX_VALUE, 9223372036854775808) MAX_VALUE, INCREMENT_BY,     CYCLE_FLAG, ORDER_FLAG, CACHE_SIZE,\n"+
                "Least(greatest(LAST_NUMBER, -9223372036854775807), 9223372036854775808) LAST_NUMBER,\n"+
                "PARTITION_COUNT, SESSION_FLAG, KEEP_VALUE\n"+
                "from all_sequences";
    }

}

In the application.properties file referred to a dialect implementation

spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.dialect=ru.mvawork.hibernate.CustomOracleDialect

You can recreate sequences by limiting the minimum and maximum values. In my case, I can 't do it. The primary keys that I use have the dimension Number (12), which falls within the range limit from -9223372036854775807 to 9223372036854775808 with a large margin
