All Known Implementing Classes:

NaturalIdMultiLoadAccessStandard
```
public interface NaturalIdMultiLoadAccess<T>
```
Loads multiple instances of a given entity type at once, by specifying a list of natural id values. This allows the entities to be fetched from the database in batches.
```
 List<Book> books =
         session.byMultipleNaturalId(Book.class)
             .withBatchSize(10)
             .multiLoad(isbnList);
 
```
Composite natural ids may be accommodated by passing a list of maps of type Map<String,Object> to multiLoad(java.lang.Object...). Each map must contain the natural id attribute values keyed by @NaturalId attribute name.
```
 var compositeNaturalId =
         Map.of(Book_.ISBN, isbn, Book_.PRINTING, printing);
 
```

  - with
```
NaturalIdMultiLoadAccess<T> with(LockOptions lockOptions)
```
    Specify the lock options to use when querying the database.
    
    Parameters:
    
    lockOptions - The lock options to use
    
    Returns:
    
    this, for method chaining
  - with
```
NaturalIdMultiLoadAccess<T> with(CacheMode cacheMode)
```
    Specify the CacheMode to use when obtaining an entity.
    
    Parameters:
    
    cacheMode - The CacheMode to use
    
    Returns:
    
    this, for method chaining
  - withFetchGraph
```
default NaturalIdMultiLoadAccess<T> withFetchGraph(RootGraph<T> graph)
```
    Override the associations fetched by default by specifying the complete list of associations to be fetched as an entity graph.
  - withLoadGraph
```
default NaturalIdMultiLoadAccess<T> withLoadGraph(RootGraph<T> graph)
```
    Augment the associations fetched by default by specifying a list of additional associations to be fetched as an entity graph.
  - with
```
@Deprecated(since="6.3")
default NaturalIdMultiLoadAccess<T> with(RootGraph<T> graph)
```
    Deprecated.
    use withLoadGraph(org.hibernate.graph.RootGraph<T>)
  - with
```
NaturalIdMultiLoadAccess<T> with(RootGraph<T> graph,
                                 GraphSemantic semantic)
```
    Customize the associations fetched by specifying an entity graph, and how it should be interpreted.
  - withBatchSize
```
NaturalIdMultiLoadAccess<T> withBatchSize(int batchSize)
```
    Specify a batch size, that is, how many entities should be fetched in each request to the database.
    
    By default, the batch sizing strategy is determined by the SQL dialect, but
    if some batchSize>1 is specified as an argument to this method, then that batch size will be used.
    
    If an explicit batch size is set manually, care should be taken to not exceed the capabilities of the underlying database.
    A batch size is considered a hint.
    Parameters:
    
    batchSize - The batch size
    
    Returns:
    
    this, for method chaining
  - enableReturnOfDeletedEntities
```
NaturalIdMultiLoadAccess<T> enableReturnOfDeletedEntities(boolean enabled)
```
    Should multiLoad(java.lang.Object...) return entity instances that have been marked for removal in the current session, but not yet deleted in the database?
    By default, instances marked for removal are replaced by null in the returned list of entities when enableOrderedReturn(boolean) is used.
    
    Parameters:
    
    enabled - true if removed entities should be returned; false if they should be replaced by null values.
    
    Returns:
    
    this, for method chaining
  - enableOrderedReturn
```
NaturalIdMultiLoadAccess<T> enableOrderedReturn(boolean enabled)
```
    Should the returned list of entity instances be ordered, with the position of an entity instance determined by the position of its identifier in the list if ids passed to multiLoad(java.lang.Object...)?
    By default, the returned list is ordered and the positions of the entities correspond to the positions of their ids. In this case, the handling of entities marked for removal becomes important.
    
    Parameters:
    
    enabled - true if entity instances should be ordered; false if they may be returned in any order.
    
    Returns:
    
    this, for method chaining
  - multiLoad
```
List<T> multiLoad(Object... ids)
```
    Retrieve the entities with the given natural id values.
    Note that the options enableReturnOfDeletedEntities(boolean) and enableOrderedReturn(boolean) affect the size and shape of the returned list of entity instances.
    
    Parameters:
    
    ids - The natural id values to load
    
    Returns:
    
    The managed entities.
  - multiLoad
```
List<T> multiLoad(List<?> ids)
```
    Retrieve the entities with the given natural id values.
    Note that the options enableReturnOfDeletedEntities(boolean) and enableOrderedReturn(boolean) affect the size and shape of the returned list of entity instances.
    
    Parameters:
    
    ids - The natural id values to load
    
    Returns:
    
    The managed entities.
  - compoundValue
```
@Deprecated(since="6.3")
static Map<String,?> compoundValue(Object... elements)
```
    Deprecated.
    use Map.of() instead
    
    Helper for creating a Map that represents the value of a composite natural id. An even number of arguments is expected, with each attribute name followed by its value.
