>To aide in using Session and Project API with code that is already using generics - 
>we should update this the remaining Map and List instance variables to use generics
- This will possibly involve a deprecation phase first
  Map descriptors;
  Map aliasDescriptors;
- some of the API is already using generics
  Map<String, String> staticMetamodelClasses
  Map<Object, RelationalDescriptor> mappedSuperclassDescriptors;
  Map<String, List<String>> metamodelIdClassMap;
- some generics change will be redundant if the key is Object for instance

protected transient List<DatabaseQuery> queries = null;
>Example: in the following CacheImpl JPA code we need to workaround the missing generic structure in AbstractSession and Project

>before generics
  Iterator<ClassDescriptor> descriptorIterator = getSession().getDescriptors().values().iterator();
    while(descriptorIterator.hasNext()) {
      ClassDescriptor candidateAssignableDescriptor = descriptorIterator.next();

>after generics
  for(ClassDescriptor candidateAssignableDescriptor : getSession().getDescriptors().values()) {
