title: Hibernate. ClassicQueryTranslatorFactory vs ASTQueryTranslatorFactory
body: <p>What's the difference between those query translators (I mean differences for me as a Hibernate user). Some blogs on the internet say that ANTLR-based translator is faster. But I deem that if one of them was clearly better, then Hibernate developers would remove the other one. So.. what's the difference and why do we have both of them? In what situations should I choose first or second? In what situations I shouldn't choose one of translators?</p>
