Knut Anders Hatlen updated DERBY-6075:
--------------------------------------
Attachment: d6075-13a-unused-properties.diff
Another kind of synchronized collection used in impl/sql/compile is Properties
(extends Hashtable). Those instances are also used by other packages, like in
the store, so I'm not planning to change them to Maps as part of this issue.
Just one small cleanup patch related to Properties:
d6075-13a-unused-properties.diff removes import statements for
java.util.Properties in classes where Properties is not used. I also found that
calls from CompilerContextImpl to
TransactionController.openSortCostController() passed a Properties argument
that was always null. Since openSortCostController() in fact ignores that
parameter, I removed it from the method signature.
All 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.
