The Spring Data CrudRepository has various methods that return multiple instances of the entity managed by the repository. It does so by using Iterable and not List, as one might expect. In many cases, that is of no consequence, since you typically want to iterate over the result anyway. However, you might occasionally prefer a List. In these cases, Iterable is annoying.
