Problem
I have two entities defined: School and District. A district can have many schools and a school can belong to one district.
When executing a GET request against this endpoint http://localhost:8080/districts I would like to get a list of all the districts WITHOUT fetching each district's set of associated schools. But it seems like no matter what I do, hibernate is making DB calls to fetch data for each school individually.

....
The SELECT FROM school as seen above, repeats hundreds of times despite having the schoolList configured as a lazy load.

Finally figured this out ... I didn't include all of the code when I originally posted this question for simplicity sake. Unfortunately, the erroneous code was not something I originally posted.
What Was Happening
I had created a Projection for my School object and mapped the projection to the SchoolRepository as shown in the below code. I thought the projection was only applied when explicitly specified in a REST request (ie : /schools?projection=schoolExcerpt) But apparently, the projection was getting applied all the time. And for some reason, the District object was applying the SchoolProjection to each associated school -> resulting in SQL queries to fetch data form each school individually even with the @JsonIgore annotation present.
How I Solved the Issue
By simply removing the projection I was able to retrieve a list of all Districts without making thousands of calls to resolve each associated school object.
@RepositoryRestResource(excerptProjection = SchoolProjection.class) //removing this line solves my problems
public interface SchoolRepository extends CrudRepository<School, Long>{
}
PS
I don't actually even need the @JsonIgnore annotation... HATEOAS is smart enough to not include related objects - instead it includes links to related objects.
