Why is hibernate batching / order_inserts / order_updates disabled by default?

Question

are there any reasons why hibernate batching / hibernate.order_updates / hibernate.order_inserts are disabled by default? Is there any disadvantage when you enable a batch size

Answer 1

The documentation here: https://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/stable/orm/userguide/html_single/chapters/batch/Batching.html

says there may be a performance penalty for using these properties. I would assume this is the reason they are not set by default.
