Knut Anders Hatlen updated DERBY-2150:
--------------------------------------
Attachment: derby-2150-1a.diff
I've had a partial patch for this issue in my sandbox for a while. Attaching it
here so that it won't be lost. The patch replaces four Vectors with ArrayLists.
More investegation is needed in order to find out whether these changes are
safe. FWIW, derbyall and the JUnit tests ran cleanly on Solaris 10 and Sun Java
SE 5.0 with this patch.
removeActivation() contains some code which is not as easily expressed with
ArrayList as with Vector, since ArrayList doesn't have an equivalent to
Vector.capacity().
int capacity = acts.capacity();
if (capacity > 20 && (capacity > 2 * acts.size())) {
acts.trimToSize();
}
This optimization might save space in some cases, but it doesn't seem like a
very important optimization (I believe it is even less important now that
DERBY-418 is fixed), so I just commented it out in the patch for now. If one
really wants this optimization, it should be fairly easy to implement it by
keeping track of the largest observed value of acts.size() in addActivation()
and use that value instead of acts.capacity() in removeActivation().
But first we need to find out whether it is safe to remove the
synchronization...

> In org.apache.derby.impl.sql.conn.GenericLanguageConnectionContext, it is
> probably safe to replace some of the synchronized collections with
> unsynchronized ones. This should be investigated, and the unnecessary
> synchronization should be removed. See discussion here:
