Just stumbled upon this. Currently there is not really an easy way to modify the default table mapping, in my opinion. Unless you actually want something radically different providing a different (sub-)class other than
DefaultTableMapping, while possible, is not actually very helpful, because you may need to copy the entire class just to change a few lines. Having these methods public, currently allows avoiding that and actually making small alterations with just a small amount of code. See 🐛 Cannot use UUID as entity ID Needs review for something that is currently fixable fairly cleanly from custom code which would become impossible, not in principle, but in reality, if these methods were made protected.Since this also does not bring any maintainability gain as far as I can tell, I am against this until we have a different more bespoke API for actually customizing the entity table layout.
