Description

in: core status: for-internal-team type: enhancement

The transactional proxy created around the job repository in AbstractJobRepositoryFactoryBean is not accurate/optimized:

https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-batch/blob/d95397faf023ee3293ee10b41977231734a0f5d1/spring-batch-core/src/main/java/org/springframework/batch/core/repository/support/AbstractJobRepositoryFactoryBean.java#L198-L208

For example, some methods (like get* and find*) could be marked as read-only.

v6 is a good opportunity to revisit and optimise this.
