Well, it could be documented in the article on primary key generation ("for 
performance reasons, Cayenne doesn't ask the DB for a new primary key every 
time a record is inserted, but fetches primary keys in batches etc.…”). I’ll 
write something up for the documentation and submit it. Shouldn’t modifications 
to documentation be submitted as a pull request like everything else?

But even better would be if JdbcPkGenerator would warn the user if a DB 
generated PK doesn’t match what it expects once the PK cache has been exhausted.

Cheers,
