Knut Anders Hatlen updated DERBY-6075:
--------------------------------------
Attachment: d6075-11a-remaining-vectors.diff
The attached 11a patch removes the remaining Vectors and replaces them with
ArrayLists. One exception is the two Vectors storeCostControllers and
storeCostConglomIds in CompilerContextImpl. They were replaced by a single
HashMap, as the latter Vector is only used for looking up elements in the
former.
As far as I have been able to see, none of the Vectors are shared between
threads, so it should be safe to replace them with unsynchronized collections.
All regression tests ran cleanly with the patch.

> The code in the org.apache.derby.impl.sql.compile package predates the Java
> Collections Framework and uses old-style collections like java.util.Vector
> and java.util.Hashtable. Since the old-style collection classes are used in
> many method signatures, it's difficult to use modern collection classes when
> adding new code.
> I suggest we switch to using interfaces (like java.util.List and
> java.util.Map) instead of specific classes in the signatures, so that we have
> more flexibility in choosing the right collection class for the job.
> Only changing the signatures would allow us to continue using Vector and
> Hashtable, since they implement the interfaces. However, I think it would be
> good to switch to ArrayList and HashMap in a second step. The instances in
> impl/sql/compile are not shared between threads, so we don't need the
> synchronization provided by the old-style classes. Switching to
> unsynchronized classes may make compilation slightly faster.
