I wonder if we should even batch for anything but Jackrabbit? Shouldn't we at least make the batch size configurable? this is a follow up to https://github.com/doctrine/phpcr-odm/pull/548#discussion_r16287665 and https://github.com/doctrine/phpcr-odm/pull/549/files#r16331850 please see what needs to be changed in PHPCR ODM once this is solved.
