This is *excellent* news!
Can you tell, at this point, whether there is a secondary leak that
we must additionally pursue? That is, does it seem as though, if we
are able to incorporate the DERBY-210 fixes into the base product, we
will be able to run DOTS without memory exhaustion errors?
I am not sure at this point, I will have to run more (and longer) tests
to increase the confidence level.
I guess what I'm asking is: what duration of test, with the patch
applied, would be enough to satisfy us that there are no additional
memory leaks exposed by this test?
That is a very hard question. Does anyone with previous experience from
slow memory leaks have any comments on this?
I suspect there will be other issues that are uncovered by running the
DOTS test case (or variations of it) with various configurations, but
they may or may not be related to this particular issue. I will
certainly let you know as soon as possible if I notice any memory leaks.
I will run the test against a patched Derby trunk for a while longer,
and see how it goes.
