Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! I am in beautiful Barcelona, Spain, this week, ahead of the upcoming Spring I/O show. I just spent a wonderful week in amazing England, meeting old friends, speaking at Devoxx UK, etc.

Hi, Spring fans! I'm writing this from - I can't believe I get to say this - abroad! I'm in London, UK! Now, this is not particularly noteworthy for those millions who already live here. But I don't live here. I'm a visitor! I live in San Francisco. I had to fly here! On a plane! With other people! ACROSS THE OCEAN. This is my first international flight since March of 2020, and I couldn't be more excited to be here for Devoxx UK and also just to catch up with old friends I haven't seen in nearly three years. If you know me, and how I used to travel, you'll appreciate how odd it is for me to be…

Then a week later, I'll be speaking at JNation, in Lisbon, Portugal. To say that I am excited would be an understatement, my friends.

And all of that ignores the great stuff since last week…

With 3.0.0-SNAPSHOT (and targeted for the next milestone release train of Spring Data), you now have the ability to get your hands on the query, right before it’s sent to the EntityManager and "rewrite" it. That is, you can make any alterations at the last moment.

Check it out below:

Example 1. Declare a QueryRewriter using @Query

public interface MyRepository extends JpaRepository<User, Long> {
