This limits side effects of removing preemptively all elements through clear() to non-Set Collections and Arrays. A good example of why it is important is : when mapping to a Set property of a Hibernate-managed entity, calling clear() then addAll() effectively triggers requests for all deletions then all additions ; though because of the order of execution in Hiberante, only new elements are inserted.

This is still only a draft, it requires some cleaning/renaming, and certainly updating tests. |

Implementation of #3695
Using retainAll() for Set and Map targets will minimize the amount of add/remove operations required for these types.
This limits side effects of removing preemptively all elements through clear() to non-Set Collections and Arrays.
A good example of why it is important (and the one that made me work on this issue) : when mapping to a Set property of a Hibernate-managed entity, calling clear() then addAll() effectively triggers requests for all deletions then all additions ; though because of the order of execution in Hibernate, only the newer elements are inserted, the others are deleted.
