/**
 * Interface that specifies a common set of Hibernate operations as well as
 * a general {@link #execute} method for Session-based lambda expressions.
 * Implemented by {@link HibernateTemplate}. Not often used, but a useful option
 * to enhance testability, as it can easily be mocked or stubbed.
 *
 * <p>Defines {@code HibernateTemplate}'s data access methods that mirror various
 * {@link org.hibernate.Session} methods. Users are strongly encouraged to read the
 * Hibernate {@code Session} javadocs for details on the semantics of those methods.
 *
 * <p><b>A deprecation note:</b> While {@link HibernateTemplate} and this operations
 * interface are being kept around for backwards compatibility in terms of the data
 * access implementation style in Spring applications, we strongly recommend the use
 * of native {@link org.hibernate.Session} access code for non-trivial interactions.
 * This in particular affects parameterized queries where - on Java 8+ - a custom
 * {@link HibernateCallback} lambda code block with {@code createQuery} and several
 * {@code setParameter} calls on the {@link org.hibernate.query.Query} interface
 * is an elegant solution, to be executed via the general {@link #execute} method.
 * All such operations which benefit from a lambda variant have been marked as
 * {@code deprecated} on this interface.
 *
 * <p><b>A Hibernate compatibility note:</b> {@link HibernateTemplate} and the
 * operations on this interface generally aim to be applicable across all Hibernate
 * versions. In terms of binary compatibility, Spring ships a variant for each major
 * generation of Hibernate (in the present case: Hibernate ORM 5.x). However, due to
 * refactorings and removals in Hibernate ORM 5.3, some variants - in particular
 * legacy positional parameters starting from index 0 - do not work anymore.
 * All affected operations are marked as deprecated; please replace them with the
 * general {@link #execute} method and custom lambda blocks creating the queries,
 * ideally setting named parameters through {@link org.hibernate.query.Query}.
 * <b>Please be aware that deprecated operations are known to work with Hibernate
 * ORM 5.0-5.2 but may not work with Hibernate ORM 5.3 and higher anymore.</b>
